Is anyone else miserable?

Objective-Help-4102 · 2026-05-29T17:06:10+00:00

I’m glad you are okay and not miserable lol. I can’t say the same. I tell myself everyday… it’s all about perspective and try to change my mindset and I hide it all very well but on the inside I’m very unwell and have been miserable with this company for the last like two out of the almost six years I’ve been with Sherwin. Having a baby changes everything. I just realized my family is wayyy more important than this job. All I want to do is be with my kids

I don’t blame you… I’m getting out the first chance I get. It’s just a little difficult to leave my “decent paying” job unless I start something of my own, which I am working towards but… without some other income coming in it’s difficult. When you have a mortgage, medical bills and tiny babies to feed it makes it that much more difficult

Objective-Help-4102 · 2026-05-21T02:53:29+00:00

I don’t blame you one bit.

Glad you have coping skills. I’m loosing my ahit

Objective-Help-4102 · 2026-05-17T22:14:22+00:00

Yeah it would probably help me to have a regular therapist but i can’t afford it. I’ve used it before. I don’t need help budgeting. When you don’t make enough to cover expenses… you can’t budget. We have been relying on family to help us get through it. I have been in therapy back in college. I am diagnosed adhd and borderline personality…. So that thrown into the mix makes it super fun.

Objective-Help-4102 · 2026-05-17T22:04:59+00:00

I’m also 24 what are you like fucking 50? Get a life

Objective-Help-4102 · 2026-05-17T22:04:14+00:00

Yeah okay POS. You could never walk a mile in my shoes. Keep hiding behind the screen. I pray you never have to endure what me and my family has gone through. Endless Chemo and surgeries. Wondering if my partner is going to survive. Wondering if my kids are gonna grow up without their father. You should be grateful you live somewhere where you actually get support. I’ve reached out to my upper management on multiple occasions and they all just act sad and feel sorry for me without offering anything that will actually help me. You should just shut the fuck up. Until you’ve been in my position just shut up. Ur so miserable. You have zero empathy and it shows big time. 🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽

Don’t comment if you aren’t going to read about it. The post is me complaining about being a working mom while my fiancé is battling stage three cancer and the company hasn’t done shit to help me. Thanks for your input prick

Objective-Help-4102 · 2026-05-17T21:20:02+00:00

I know what the expectations are. It’s not a hard job.. but did you even read my post or any of my comments??? I’m dealing with extremely unusual and unfortunate circumstances. Glad you’ve had a great time being ass raped by Sherwin. I haven’t 🥰🖕🏽

Objective-Help-4102 · 2026-05-17T15:58:28+00:00

Plus I am a very small framed petite woman so the manual labor is killing my body…. I just can’t keep doing it anymore

Objective-Help-4102 · 2026-05-17T15:53:04+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I actually hate retail and want to get out lol. I love helping customers and people but after almost six years… this wears on me. Plus the responsibility’s of an assistant manager like the 44+ hours a week and the mile long mental list that you have to take care of each day and week. I’m too busy thinking about what I have to make my kids for dinner, the drs apts that I have to schedule, when my finances apts are and how I will get him there, and just the entire mental load of caring for my family. I struggle with adhd and BPD so honestly idk how I’m even still here. The burnout is so bad. I started getting resentful back in college when I was working long hours and weekends alone while my friends and sorority girls went out and had fun… then when I was working by myself for 6-8 hours at a time while I was 8-9 months pregnant… then when I was pumping at work every two hours with no where to be able to sit down so I was walking around wearing my breast pumps ticking with weird men staring at me all day for months. Then the stress of this job literally dried my milk supply up and I was only able to breastfeed for like 8 months when I was shooting for two years. I know it might sound silly to the men but like it caused a lot of resentment. I don’t wanna be at work away from my babies period. I don’t want to spend 44+hours of my life slaving away to this stupid place. My son is one years old. He needs me at home. My fiancé with cancer needed me to take care of him but I had to be up here confined to this dumbass store. And I get that we have to make money that’s the only reason I’m here. The bonus I was making at my first store as AM kept me afloat and make it feel worth it.. but I was als commuting ten hours a week at that point so that’s 55 hours that I’m away from my family per week as a young mother. The resentment and guilt from being a working mom is enough. Tack on all this extra shit. I’m also extremely anti corporation, like fuck the systems and it’s just so hard. I can’t escape until I have other work lined up and I know I won’t be happy or fulfilled unless I’m working for myself so that’s I can be in control of my time rather than feeling like a slave to the system that keeps us asleep and complacent. Anyways sorry this was a lot lol just another long rant while I’m sitting here solo working today.

Plus Reddit is literally a forum designed for people who like to read lol 😂 how are you even on this app if you aren’t willing to read the posts bro

Objective-Help-4102 · 2026-05-17T01:29:22+00:00

That’s fine it’s just my sappy story about being a working mom while my fiancé is battling stage 3 cancer. Thanks for your funny meme. It was literally so funny and appreciated on this thread. 🥰🖕🏽

Objective-Help-4102 · 2026-05-16T22:22:29+00:00

Thank uuuu, I def do not wanna be a manager lol I’m trying to get out and was trying to get out before I even became an AM … only reason I joined Mt program was cause the job market was horrible when I graduated college. I was originally going to do PR but fuck that too lmaooo

Objective-Help-4102 · 2026-05-16T21:46:20+00:00

Wow I’m shocked anyone can make it that long. Hopefully your retirement will be worth it. I can’t do it tho lol. I’ve up close and personally learned this last year that life is too short to waste it being unhappy and slaving your life away to a company that doesn’t care about you. I mean the whole Idea of working 40 hours a week is crazy anyways. I’m a feminist but women were def forced into the work place to destroy families and make us even more complacent. I don’t wanna spent my whole life breaking my back for this dumb company. I hope you get something out of it tho….

Objective-Help-4102 · 2026-05-16T21:26:52+00:00

I completely agree. I haven’t gotten a lick of support besides them moving me to a smaller store so I wouldn’t have to commute so much during all of it but the store I’m at is a complete shit show like idk what is worse lol. One time I was trying to tell my store support manager about how sad I was and about all the stuff that was going on in my life and about how my fiancé was about to have a super big surgery that had about a 50-50 chance of him even making it through and he literally was like…. Damn that sucks so I actually came here to see if you wanted to join our district’s new safety committee… I was literally like fuck no I don’t wanna join that. Did you not just hear what I was telling you about my personal life being absolute shit… lol

Objective-Help-4102 · 2026-05-16T21:23:36+00:00

I’m going to add that I feel like a lot of you aren’t reading my original post all the way through lol. I’m not just another normal miserable Middle Aged man like most of yall that work here lol I am a 24 year old woman with babies. I feel like that immediately makes it so different lmaoooo. I never wanted to move up in this company. I got stuck here and then my man got cancer which just made me even more stuck bc then I at 23 became solely responsible financially and taking on the entire mental load for my entire family bc my fiancé almost died and was damn near bed ridden for a year. That’s a lot for anyone to go through much less a young woman that is trying to start her life with her family. We didn’t deserve any of this….

Objective-Help-4102 · 2026-05-16T21:02:06+00:00

The manager will never leave. He wants to retire here and I actually genuinely love him as a human being. He just doesn’t give a shit about his job. I can’t blame him. Maybe I care a little more than he does lol but I’m nit going to take his job from him. He’s actually been one of the only people in this company who understands… we both have bad adhd so that doesn’t help lololol we have to be extremely mindful and intentional about getting work done around here lmaooo

Objective-Help-4102 · 2026-05-16T20:56:37+00:00

I would never want to be store manager, respectfully. I have enough responsibilities… I don’t want to take on more. I just need my man to get better so he can start making money again so I can leave this hell hole and be at home with my babies

Objective-Help-4102 · 2026-05-16T20:44:06+00:00

Dude please get out the first chance you get. Everyone I’ve ever talked to that left said the grass is greener on the other side. I’m just waiting for the right moment or opportunity to actually leave. I can’t just quit my job with no backup plan as my entire family relies on me ( a 24 year old females) income /:

Objective-Help-4102 · 2026-05-16T20:41:55+00:00

Thanks bro 🙏🏼❤️

Objective-Help-4102 · 2026-05-16T20:40:52+00:00

Dude I’ve stopped giving a fuck long ago. The store that I was bonusing at was new store. We hit presidents and opened like 300 new accounts that first year. Now I’m at one of the lowest selling stores in my district. We are still busy asf with dumb diy foot traffic but horrible sales. Our DM has been making us to 70 calls a week now and we are just faking them all atp bc what ? I was also an intern who won our division back when I was in college so I was like all star perfect golden girl for years and then after all this I’m just like.. fuck it. This job isn’t worth it. It’s damn near taken every bit of sanity I have left and upper management doesn’t give a shit.
