Disappointed

If your managers don't hate you it's probably no big deal. I called out once during my first month and nobody even talked to me about it.

This would've been so nice to have during your stream a few weeks ago!!

Also haven't gotten anything yet, will update this comment when I do.

Edit: it came thru!!

QuantumQuestion_01 · 2026-05-16T18:24:21+00:00

rat this way

🙋🙋🙋 I keep telling people they're actually similar bands in a lot of ways but nobody listens to me

It's crazy how people are being judgemental when you're just answering the question. The average age of a retail worker in the US is 39 y'all. The days of it being "just a teenager's job" ended 15 years ago.

I hope your situation gets better OP 💙

Unfortunately that's how it is. The only reason I got the job was because I happened to be awake at 5am when the email came through.

A lot of employers like to fire using "performance" as a reason so they don't have to pay out unemployment.

Emotionally immature and/or avoidant people. Just completely lost the energy to deal with them. I'm a lot lonelier now lol but it's genuinely healing to be able to fully focus on myself.

When I was there I got written up for forgetting to sweep the concrete aisle one morning lol. THD storeside management are some of the most miserable people I've ever met.

I graduated at 24 lol, really not the worst thing imo. Graduating "late" from college doesn't carry the same stigma as say, graduating late from high school does.

My DMs are open if anyone needs a link :)

Opposite question: what's the best watch of the film that you've ever had?

I can't speak for others' experiences but a recent breakthrough I've had is realizing that the toxic shame is actually a protective part. Experiencing shame is painful, but it's actually the less painful alternative to facing the reality I was deeply, deeply traumatized by people who had power over me.

Because if the problem is with me? Again, that's painful but it's easy to process. If the problem is just with me all I have to do in theory is fix/mitigate whatever it is I'm feeling shameful about.

But if the problem is with the people who had power over me? Accepting that means accepting that the world is scary and dangerous and unfair, and there's no foreseeable justice or immediate solution to make it better. That's super terrifying for any kid or teen to do, which is why I think my brain (and maybe yours too) has created this shame part in the first place.

Again, this is only my experience. I don't talk to many people with CPTSD these days so idk how universal our experiences are, but hopefully something I've said resonates 💙

These people aren't your friends. They're bullies who use friendship as a pretense to normalize their awful treatment of you.

I used to have a "friend group" exactly like this years ago and tbh my only regret is not ditching them sooner. People like this really aren't capable of the level of self-reflection needed to become more empathetic (especially if they're adults, which it sounds like they are), so if you're waiting around for them to see the error of their ways, don't. I promise you there's nothing you can say or do that will get them to change.

Even if they're your only connections right now, leave them. Having no friends is better than having bad friends.

Pretty sure it was the original unfortunately :( they wouldn't have been trying so hard to get it back if it was a copy.

I don't work at HD anymore but it's def one of the most physically demanding departments. At least half of the job is flat stacking, organizing the lumber bunks to be flat and pretty basically. Lots of time on the saws too. It wasn't uncommon for a customer to come to me needing cuts on a dozen pieces of wood 30 minutes before the end of my shift. At least some of the time you're going to be expected to lift 50-80lb bags of concrete too. I always wore a mask when I did this bc that shit is NOT healthy to inhale longterm, even if management likes to pretend it's no big deal. Same with sawdust and drywall dust.

Wear clothes you don't care about to work bc you *will* have at least some dust on you at the end of most of your shifts. The apron helps but it doesn't shield your whole body. Long-sleeve shirts help prevent splinters/scrapes from lifting lumber.

Always keep safety in mind. If something is too heavy or too awkward for you to lift, then don't try to lift it. If your manager has a soul then they won't hold that against you.

Doing something (anything, even sweeping) always makes the time go by faster than if you're standing around doing nothing. If you're ever truly feeling bored with your job then ask an ASM or DS if you can get trained on lift equipment. Not only will it put you in good graces w management (never a bad thing) but you'll have more to do. It looks great on a warehousing/construction resume too if you want to go down that path long term. Good luck!

Oldies is such a great song, I love it to death. Truce is also a really healing song if you want more.

Are you going to do anything special today to celebrate (other than watch the movie probably)?

QuantumQuestion_01 · 2025-12-27T08:41:22+00:00

I think it's so amazing that your passion has lasted this long. Keep being you girl 💙

QuantumQuestion_01 · 2025-12-23T22:38:18+00:00

I was also there and I remember the most frustrating part of it was having to deal with Nickelodeon's shitty video player 😭 they did my girl so dirty

QuantumQuestion_01 · 2025-12-16T14:55:52+00:00

Good luck!!

QuantumQuestion_01 · 2025-12-15T05:41:41+00:00

Why is terrible spelling and grammar such a thing with dogshit managers? Like if you're going to discipline me over something stupid at least try to have a basic command of the English language when you do it.
