I've never been in customer service until now. This is only my fifth day being a cashier and management is poor. I get rude customers due to me being too slow and sometimes forget I have to remain professional. Despite barely any of the supervisors helping me out at the register, they haven't been criticized AT ALL!

I have already been complained about for not being friendly enough to customers. Already! rumors are circulating about me being rude when I'm just shy! It's like everywhere I go someone is always criticizing me about what I do.

Is this even normal to be chastised and ostracized and have rumors spread about me?? Am I living on another ****ing planet???

Hi gonegirl
I am sorry that you are going through this. I think that some workplaces are hell. The system sucks and this is to me the main reason why we feel alienated at work. You are a new employee and should be given the opportunity of adapting to the new place first. Instead, you find intolerance. When I lived in the US I met a lot of good people among my colleagues but, on the other hand, I found that work environments were too toxic. At certain point, I was a manager, and it was hell to me, as well. I had to go to a psychiatrist and be in therapy because adapting to the job environment was too hard for me. I hope you can get support in order to cope better. I am sending you a big hug
