How do I tell my supervisors that I’m not bring properly trained, etc?

My new job working retail is stressful. The supervisors are bad at communication usually. No one tells me much of anything.

I’ve only been there 3 days & it’s like I’m supposed to figure out what to do mostly on my own,

Most of my coworkers don’t want to train me. Yesterday this lady literally said she had no time to train me as she was the only person doing returns .

She asked me to put away clothes instead. I think it’s unfair & weird to how they didn’t have someone else help her out.

I’m very overwhelmed & confused by this department & the register downstairs.

I mostly put away clothes on the floor thankfully as one lady thought I was to slow at the register & that I was slowing people down, ugh.

It’s like, give me a break, I’m new! These people are very impaitient & they’re stressing me out.

They kept passing me around & it’s upsetting. The lady who made the bigmomma joke was barely with me for 20 minutes before she asked someone else to train me.

I feel like I’m annoying them & that they don’t want me there.

One supervisor yesterday was upset that I ended up working in a different department. I didn’t know that I wasn’t supposed to do that. That lady complained about me to my supervisor & he talked to me & made it seem like it was OK for me to work in the clothing area.

This guy who got upset with me has a bit of an attitude. I don’t think he likes me. He was a bit condescending & he said some weird things about me taking multiple breaks. I did go to the restroom a few times, but I always told that lady about it.

He asked me when I took my breaks & who I spoke to about it. He made it sound like I was stupid by asking me if I took my 15 min bteak then my lunch break & he said I only get certain breaks & I told him I know that. He was talking doen to me & it was obvious he doesn’t like or respect me. I hate that power tripping ****.

This was the touchy feely weirdo btw. who complained about me. She looked at me crazy yesterday in the morning. She mellowed out on the floor though.

I can tell she’s trouble. She didn’t even bother giving me a warning, she immediately wanted to make me look bad in front of a supervisor.

I wonder if she set me up to get in trouble with the other supervisor. She was gone by the time that supervisor questioned me.

I hate this job. I’ll probably quit in a few weeks. That big momma lady ignored me too. So I doubt that she likes me or wants me there either. Whatever.

This is ridiculous. How can I tell them that I’m overwhelmed & that I would like to be put in the clothing department or stock w/o being let go right away?

Even other associates think this particular department is to hard & overwhelm ling. There is way to much to remember & you have to answer phones, find orders, do the register, put seay & tag clothes differently by type. It’s to much!

They might let me go if they can see I can’t work in certain departments.

You could tell your supervisors that you have hard time with certain tasks and need an easier load. They might need somebody just doing stock. There’s no reason you can’t ask them.

I’d not complain that you aren’t getting “proper” training as it’s hard to define proper. In my experience retail doesn’t provide very extensive training. Especially if you are seasonal employee.

It’s possible that you do need longer training than they anticipated but that’s why you’d benefit from working with vocational disability services. They’ll help with employment that suits your needs and they also help with job skills. Have you ever contacted them? I provided you with their info more than ones

Retail could be brutal. Their goal is to make a profit. They can’t afford long training or people take extra breaks etc as retail management is under huge pressure. But that’s why it would benefit you to seek employment though disability services

When you respond to my posts, like the recent one about bladder issues, i feel like i gave you all the facts, but then you come right back and ask me questions about what i just told you.

Like you asked if azo worked. I just told you that i take it when i have a problem. Or did it help when i lost weight. I told you there is a weight limit after which i have a problem.

I dont want to answer those questions. I dont understand why you are asking them. Wasnt i clear the first time?

If you are doing something similar at work, honestly you could be getting on peoples nerves, trying to make them repeat themselves. THEY know the answer, they dont need to repeat it, YOU do for yourself. But you are leaving it open instead of showing that you captured the information.

I spoke to my supervisor today. He already thought about putting me on the floor before I asked him to put me there thankfully.

He’s nice. He agreed with me that everyone is to busy to train me & that he was overwhelmed when he first started this job too. He knows theres a lot to learn at this job.

I also told him about that rude supervisor & he said he’ll have a talk with him, I remember that you shared those links with me, thanks.

Maybe there’s something wrong with me. It takes me forever to learn anything new. I tend to forget things I don’t do often too.

Sorry, I misunderstood you.
