You definitely can do this if you want to!! Sounds like you have the manager on your side. I’m not a confrontational person but if I feel someone has a problem with me I would pull them aside for a chat to try and clear the air. Is that something you could do? If you tell her how her attitude makes you feel it might make her re think her actions. Even if you could go back for a short time and look for a new job in the meantime? That way at least there’s light at the end of the tunnel? No one should ever be made to feel so crap in work it results in tears. Life is too short. Try not to let the little bully get to you snd definitely look for something that makes you happier ❤️
As hard as this is, block that ignorant woman out of your focus. Defo go back but you must explain to your manager the reality of it all, let your manager understand the whole perspective, and ask that you’re sharing in confidence. Explain you need some space from her and can you be on shifts without her whilst you build your confidence maybe? Appreciate this might not be possible. Focus on you and your bills and child. Younger childless woman intimidating like this simply don’t have the experience yet of the whole return to work after a baby - it does knock us and our confidence. She might also be going through some stuff too, and it’s coming out via perfectionist anger towards you. If she can’t control herself then that’s on her, not on you, and she’ll learn fast lessons in life. You do you, head high, earn those 💰
Thanks ladies- you’re right. I guess I just completely panicked because I felt like I made a complete and utter idiot of myself. The job was only meant to be temporary anyway so I’ll look for another one in the meantime!! I’m back in at 5pm (gulp) so I could be back on here moaning again soon!!
Tell us how it went 🤞🏼 May the force be with you xxx
Couldn't read and run... You can go back. 💪 Look at the positives... you've made very few mistakes in 6 weeks (no doubt in a restaurant you've just been thrown in the deep end and expected to pick things up as you go) Sounds like your manager has got your back. A 19 year old with a bad attitude will have no where near the qualities and life experience you have built up. See it as a temp thing, do what you've got to do, get paid and don't give it a second thought when you get home.... in the meantime look for something else. Take your boy on those days/trips!
