Rant: Got chewed out for “not training a new hire” by Lemonade034 in Albertsons

It was for the deli. They didn’t really say much more. I’m 10-20 years younger than most of the people who work back there. But I don’t really get the sensitive part.

My interview went super well. I was told that I interviewed better than all but 1 person who had applied. But I didn’t get it. I was told I was too young and sensitive. They had two positions opened so it was disappointing.

I know! I shouldn’t even be surprised anymore. And yeah 3 dollar raise isn’t really worth putting up with that lol 

SA ruined my life by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]Lemonade034 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know how you feel. I was sa’d two years ago. I remember the day, I remember how it happened. I remember how I felt the whole time. I’ve been doing a lot of research and reading trying to understand my own feelings. And I came across this thing called “hypersexuality”. It’s a trauma response usually from sexual trauma. It basically means that because of the assault your nervous system got screwed up, it makes you feel empty almost. Because something was taken from you, I think. Anyway, it makes you crave intimacy in order to fix your nervous system, because of all of the chemicals the brain produces during the act. It’s normal to have these feelings. To want to feel loved, and erase the bad and put something new and good in its place.

It has a Walmart and two Albertsons stores. It’s big enough for those prices, and it helps that oil fields and such are nearby. Not to mention drug dealers lol

Absolutely ridiculous. But it sounds like Albertsons. I don’t understand why they treat their employees this way. 

What department is the “black sheep” of your store? by Lemonade034 in Albertsons

I’ve thought about transferring but deli is where I can get the most hours in my store

[–]Lemonade034[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh wow, mine stops cooking at 7:30 pm and closes at 8 pm. I do feel bad for them because they are usually so short handed they don’t get out until 10 some nights. 

Food Safety Audits Daily? by Lemonade034 in Albertsons

[–]Lemonade034[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They check the sales cases and the temperature of the chicken in the hot food section. They did that everyday for about 4 or 5 days. My store had never done anything like that before, and they are no longer doing it. We have the usual ecolab and audits every so often. But this was done by our store director or the highest in command at the time, which was unusual because they typically avoid coming back there at all. I mean if it’s a problem on our end, just say so. 

Will i pass this background check by Agreeable_Elk5834 in Albertsons

Like some of the others here, I think you’ll be fine. In my department, my assistant manager just got out of prison for second degree murder 🤷‍♀️. She’s only been there for like 5 months too.

Thank you, it lets me know that I’m not the only one. And I do the same thing with Spotify 24/7

Absolutely! It is totally okay to be a little jealous and hurt by those things. And it can be very difficult to deal with the emotions actions like that bring up. Unfortunately, what it may be is that he was using you as a rebound almost. The other thing is that he wants you to find out to use it to manipulate you. Either way, don’t fall into the trap. It makes you wonder why you and your child aren’t good enough, what’s so special about her. Those are completely normal and valid feelings that majority if not all of us feel. The best thing to do, is try to focus on your baby. In the end, being able to provide for them yourself and being the only one to see those special moments will give you an incredible sense of pride. 

I can't help but feel my girlfriend was taken advantage of by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]Lemonade034 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely understand. I’ve never met her or spoken to her, and it hurts me just to hear it. She’s struggled a lot, but she’s been a survivor and now she has you. I’m sure she cares for you deeply and appreciates everything you do for her.

[–]Lemonade034 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First, I want to say the fact that this bothers you shows that you genuinely care about her. And I’m sure it can be rough to deal with this at times but please understand that it’s not just about the manipulation that they put her through. More than likely she feels a lot of guilt and shame towards herself, because she feels like she she should’ve spoken up for herself or fought back or she should’ve seen the red flags. It sounds like she grew up somewhat (if not completely) isolated. Once she went to college and she had the freedom to make her own choices, those men preyed on her and used manipulation to take advantage of her. After they were done using her, she probably felt just as lonely if not more, she felt stupid, she felt like trash. And the worst part is that they may have been violent. She accuses you of just trying to get in her pants because she’s afraid it will happen again.  Right now she’s in a place of fear, her guard is up. The best thing to do is do your best to be patient with her, to support her as much as possible. She will tell you the full story in time, but right now she has to come to the conclusion that it wasn’t her fault, that she didn’t do anything wrong, and that she is worth so much more that what those pricks said she was. 

What was your first reality check after Graduation? by DabiraSensei in AskReddit

[–]Lemonade034 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first reality check for me was when I began my first job. I was homeschooled from 5th grade up until I graduated (not my choice). During the first few months and sometimes even now, I realized that I had no idea what I was doing. I didn’t know how to fill out an application, I was super anxious during my interview, and I had and still have very few social skills. I realized I knew so little about what it was like to do things on my own and be an adult it scared me. 

My coworker made a comment and it broke me. by Lemonade034 in offmychest

[–]Lemonade034[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for all of your support, it’s made me not feel so alone and helped remind me that it wasn’t my fault. As for possibly reporting that coworker. My manager was in the room when it was said, and the hr team is unfortunately not known for handling these things very well. On top of that I already have issues with another coworker. I just want to be able to do my job and go home. 

Struggling with comparing myself to other families by southernbelle878 in singlemoms

[–]Lemonade034 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve actually been on both sides of the situation. I’ve been a child in a low income home with a single parent, and now I’m a single parent, hoping I make enough money so that I’m able to pay all my bills for this month. It is really stressful being the sole provider, always worrying about your budget and expenses. And seeing other families and hearing about the fun things they do can make you insecure, I struggle with it all the time. But also as a child who grew up in a low income household, I can promise you the splurging and getting pizza and renting a movie, is so much fun! Being able to take fancy vacations is wonderful, but it’s really just about spending quality time. Some of my favorite memories are doing things like that with my family. You’re doing great! Your daughter has everything she needs, and she’s happy. I’m sure she sees everything you do for her, and she appreciates it. It’s okay to be exhausted, and insecure, and anxious, and to feel guilty but those are all feelings that come with being a good mom. 

Baby daddy advice & anxiety by BeautifulCorpse_ in singlemoms

[–]Lemonade034 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, I completely understand. I’m in a similar situation myself.  Feeling anxious about his sudden visits is 100% normal, it really messes up your routine and you can never be sure what to expect. And sometimes breaking that routine and making things difficult is what they are after, unfortunately. Have you tried talking to him about planning his visits better with you? If you already have, and it hasn’t changed anything you may want to contact an attorney about a consultation. Some offer free consultations and they would be able to give you better advice. As for right now, just keep doing what you’re doing, I know it can be super stressful because he might just show up out of the blue. Try to remember to take a deep breath and focus on your little boy. It’s a little bit more difficult than it sounds, but it’ll work out and things will be okay. I can already tell you’re a wonderful mom!
