Hi
I really need some advice. I am stuck in this part time job at the moment that I really hate. It's this shop in England called argos, has a really weird set up were they don't have any stock on the shop floor. They just have a big stockroom at the back, when customers buy stuff the information comes through on a bit of paper saying where to get their item from.
The thing is I am really not very good at the job, I make quite a lot of mistakes and have and had few written warnings or verbal warnings. The manager really has it in for me and can just tell she thinks I am complete idiot. On top of this all the other staff there are very loud and outgoing, whereas I am very quiet. They keep making digs at me for this. Saying why are you so quiet? you don't say anything do you? I could kind of put with that because people have always been asking me those questions.
But recently it's got worse and now I just feel really uncomfortable. Because my manager knows I am not really a people person. she hasn't trained me on the
tills as you have to be smiley and chatty, one way they make a lot of money is buying selling insurance to customers. Anyway the other week, when we finished we were walking out. And one of the girls said why hadn't I been trained on tills, they all sort of made jokes about this like he doesn't even talk to us let alone though customers. Just talking about me as if I wasn't even there it felt like.
The other thing now is if there is a group of them in the staff room and I walk in. They will just talk to me to laugh about how awkward I am, or the sound of my voice and then start impersonating that. Or just ask me questions and laugh at the answers I give.
But I want to leave but people say I should find a new job first, I've been looking a bit and haven't found anything. It's got to the stage now were I can't take much more, just thinking about resigning and hoping I find a new job quick. What would you do? Sorry for long message I needed to vent, and I don't have anyone else to talk to at all.
