Work is still frustrating.
A month ago I got a write-up for speaking to a guest too firmly (fair point). Today I got my butt chewed for going too far to help a guest and costing us money. Also fair. I do see what the bossman is talking about here, and I think it's a matter of finding the right balance (and getting back on my ADHD meds) but I'm really frustrated.
Bossman hasn't provided the physical conditions for us to do our best. We still don't get breaks or lunches (I've been asking about this for almost a year), and until recently I was scheduled in a way that made it impossible for me to get proper sleep. I was making a LOT of mistakes because I was so tired. I'm still not doing the best work because I'm always so hungry.
I told this to bossman, told him how little I and some other employees feel respected, and that it has me thinking about finding a different job. They put me on mid-shift where I'll always have someone to give me a break but I feel like a failure again. I really like this industry and want to build a carrer in it. But I feel like I can't cut it. I come to work every day and give my best, I deal with the difficult (and, in my state, ILLEGAL) work conditions as best I can, and it isn't enough.
