I just started a new job. I think it might be seasonal. It coukd lead to permanent p/t employment. So far I doubt I’ll last there.

I need the money otherwise I’d quit. Anyways, one problem is that I’m an HSP with depression & anxiety.

I’ve been there for two days & I can tell that some people don’t like me. I was trained by two of ufe wimen on my first day.

They both looked at my body which made me feel uneasy. I dressed nice, so Idk why they’d do that. I ignored them. One lady looked at me weird twice. Rude!

I felt judged. Why would another woman do that yo me? They both seemed to be annoyed at training me. Just their tone of voice was rude.

One lady kept touching me even after I tecoiled & made a face. I should’ve told her to please stop touching me.

Then today I was ignored by two people in the H.R department. The H.R manager who hited me & who did the orientation ignored me & so did a supervisor. Rude. They just looked at me & talked to each orher than laughed. I had to ask them what they needed me to do that day.

Then the cashiers I met kept pawning me off on other people or asking other people to train me, The wiman who was supposed to train me stopped after an hour. My shift was for 4 hours.

I think they were annoyed that I wasn’t catching on quick enough. They were nicer to me though & they weren’t making their annoyance as obvious, but the fact that they kept trying to get other people to help me said a lot.

I’m really frustrated. On top of that, this lady who is petite made an inappropriate comment to me when she showed me the plus sized section.

She said this is the ‘Big Momma’ section. She said it multiple times. I felt like she was trying to fat shame me as I’m a large woman.

She then told me that she’s petite & in the petite section she said it’s where she shops as she’s small & petite. She mentioned that numerous times like she was hoping I’d say something about her being petite . I didn’t.

I thought she was nasty, so I told her that the politically correct term for the plus sized is plus size & not Big Momma. lol! I then said some customers might take offense to that. She said sorry & thanks for correcting her.

She didn’t bother to work with me much after that, but I don’t care.

She did go on break with me which was odd. And she offered me an apple.

Why would my coworkers have this attitude towards me? I tried to be nice. I met two nice women there . Almost everyone in the breakroom ignored me.

I found out that I’m the only person who isn’t scheduled for Black Friday which makes me think they won’t be keeping me around for long.

I don’t understand why I got such a hostile attitude or just an annoyed one from so many people so far. I’m very hurt & upset by this. I’m new . They tokd me they made mistakes as a new person too, so why are thet expecting me to know everything right away? Ridiculous!

They made me feel awkward by pointing out how I was nervous. Wth? Rude!

How can I control my emotions around these rude coworkers? Why would they treat me so badly?
