Okay, so... I have had yet another problem with my job tonight. I thought everything was going so well, but my supervisor didn't seem to think so.

I rarely do the shift I did tonight, which means I'm really new to it still. I was asking this other guy what to do, because he does them more than me. Well, he is... Kind of slow at what he does. I don't mean to sound mean, but he is. So I was trying to cover for him and try to get done fast tonight, so we could help with everything else.

Well, the supervisor and this other girl finished before we did, and went to do one of the last closing things, and because this other guy was going so slow and I was still new to this shift and its jobs, we were far behind. We still got out early, but, as we were leaving...

The supervisor said this to us, "You guys were half assing your jobs tonight."

I couldn't believe she said that to me. I honestly thought I was doing okay. I am trying really, really, really hard to do well at this job. I really am. I like it a lot, but the people are just not nice. No one seems to understand that I'm still new and that others process things differently. Because of my mental illness, it's taking me awhile to catch on to things. My boss said I was doing a good job, but now I'm scared this girl is going to go and tell her that I was "half assing" my job and that she's going to want to talk to me about it. And then it'll be my word against hers.

I really like this job, but... I can't keep doing this. I know you're going to have mean people at any job you do, but... There should be at least one person you like, right? I don't have anyone, other than my friend who I rarely work with.

So, I'm really thinking I need to look for another job... Nowhere else was hiring me, and I really don't want to go back to retail... But... Apparently I'm not doing well with this one, even though I really thought I was...

Sorry to hear that. Im sure you where doing fine. I mean you got done early right? How can she complain about that. I wouldnt worry about it to much. Just do your best and let it roll of your back.

Yeah, we did get done early. Not as early as usual, but we still left before our end time. So she shouldn't be complaining.

I have to work with her again on Monday, so if she brings it up, I decided I will tell her that I was working hard, and I was trying to help John out and that I was still new to that shift and that if she has a problem with it, she can talk to my boss.

I don't think she will. She's kind of a B****. It depends on the mood she's in.

I hope things get better. Pray about, speak up when needed and definitely ask for help on what you don't know.

I will try... Thank you. If she brings it up on Monday, I'm going to tell her the truth, that I was doing my job and helping the other guy, and that my boss thinks I'm doing well, and if she has a problem with it, she can go talk to my boss.
