Okay, I come here today because everyone on here probably has the same issues with anxiety as I do and no one in my life quite understands my obsessions because they don't deal with anxiety. Meaning I'm probably obsessing over this too much but I can't help it. This is long but please read and I swear I'll be extra nice to you on your posts )
I deal with SA but I also have a problem with excessive worrying/general anxiety.
So for the past 9 months I've worked at Target and have grown to hate the job but love some of the co-workers there. Which is weird because in the past I've had problems connecting to people. But I've made connections there. Also, they've been flexible with my changing availability (I'm a student).
But I noticed it would stress me out a lot (customers and other rubbish) and desperate for a change, I mentioned it to this old friend of mine who told me her job at this woman's clothing store is hiring. So I applied, and they basically hired me there because they were so desperate for someone. I put my two weeks at Target and worked my last day there yesterday, and it was kind of sad for me I hugged three of my co workers goodbye that I would miss.
Today I worked my fourth day there at the other place. I like the store manager and one of the assistant managers, but cannot stand the other assistant manager. She is very strange. I am very sensitive and get a lot of anxiety if someone's kind of rude with me. Like for example she told me "I'm not letting you on the registers if you're going to not ask for people to openthe [store] credit cards". And I was like I have been! (I was!) and she was like "I haven't heard you". Well later in the day when she left I did get one and almost got a second but the customer didn't have a social security number so they couldn't. But she was being extremely pushy about the damned cards. I can't deal with that.
Then I accidentially left a door under the counter ajar and she hit her shin on it and blamed me in front of two customers saying "why did you leave it open you don't have to do that" then later joked she was going to call her lawyer on me.
At Target we get tons of breaks but at this small place, it's kind of luck of the draw if you know what I mean. And you can't wear sneakers so I came home with my feet aching like hell from the flats I was wearing. Also Target pays 50 cents more per hour but the hours vary more.
The new place has easier customers, a more regular schedule, and a less hectic atmosphere, but I can't stand to work at a place where I don't like one of the co-workers because they're mean with me.
And other stuff about her mannerisms. Like she called me over and I came to face her across the counter and she said "come around the counter, please" very sternly and showed me I had mis-punches on the computer. She said I hadn't clocked out but I had-the problem was simply that I had clocked in twice by accident. Needless to say, her mannerisms are weird.
I can't take this. In the next couple months I need flexibility because I'm visiting a college out of state next month, may get married and am probably gna transfer schools (quit this job or any) and move out state in fall. Target I know will be somewhat flexible with that. This store is so small I know they probably can't do that.
I called Target today and asked if I could come back and the manger said i probably could but i need to call back because she has to talk to HR and the other manager who is charge of my department. I would be calling back on Monday.. I hope the somewhat negative comments about my scheduling I put on my two week notice suggestion box won't affect this decision..
So if I go back to Target what should I tell the other place? Should I work the schedule they gave me and give "notice" even though I've only been there a week?
