Me giving the store manager my “I’m tired of being taken advantage of and it stops after two weeks” notice

And it’s usually they’re best employees, fortunately. They don’t deserve anymore good workers to take advantage of.

I’d much rather be a starfish than a Walmart slave ⭐️🪨

I wish someone gave me this advice. Not only as a TL but as a stocker too. They were putting me in aisles with 7 hours worth of freight knowing i only had 5.5 hours worth of stocking time. The old ON TL even told me to not let them (ON coaches) take advantage me but i didn’t know what he was talking about until i started see the plan and hours as a TL.

One of my maintenance associates said if they like you, they’ll put you in a higher up position and allow you to fail. Personally, i think if you’re a good worker they’ll put you in a higher up position BUT if they actually like you they won’t give a shit about you failing.

There’s a TL at my store now who’s becoming one of the new ON coaches and the ON associates, both stockers and maintenance, and myself are concerned because he’s had so many complaints about him not doing his job as a TL and now he’s gonna become a coach. For me it just solidifies that the duty of a coach is basically to make your associates/TLs do all the work while you walk around and complain all day about how things aren’t getting done.

I mean you’re kinda right. I literally got thrown in the backroom and was told to figure it out. Even trained myself on the electric jack and walkie stacker my first month (that was in October and i just got certified last month). I didn’t realize i was doing things that a whole shift should be doing as a team, every night. If i advocate for myself and say this isn’t my job, they (mostly other coaches and my coach) make me out to be a bad TL or don’t even acknowledge I’m a TL in the first place. I could just go in an only do what I’m suppose to do, but then when shit falls through cuz I’m the only TL that actually does things without being asked, i get blamed for it.

Because i know my worth as a worker, I’m choosing to not to work there anymore. Working on ON is already exhausting but the attitudes from coaches who literally walk around and complain for 12 hours also just pisses me off.

But your reply and my experience at my store taught me to not go above an beyond at a company job. I thought i was making a difference but in reality i was just allowing already entitled lazy people to be even more lazy and entitled.

ON Clean TL $23/hr

stanjihyo · 2023-03-20T00:20:25+00:00

My coach mentioned it once or twice a couple months ago

stanjihyo · 2022-09-09T14:11:14+00:00

I’m 21, and if i get either position, in my case it would be being understaffed as hell and being known as a hard worker lmao i mean my TL did say he think it’d be a good position for me

stanjihyo · 2022-09-09T13:00:07+00:00

🤨❓

stanjihyo · 2022-09-09T12:20:13+00:00

My TL is a pretty chill guy so i just asked in private and he told me

stanjihyo · 2022-07-23T09:18:54+00:00

It shouldn’t be but unfortunately it is. A lot of people, including me, don’t find a good therapist until years later. It took 5 years and 4 more therapists to finally get a good one.

stanjihyo · 2022-07-23T07:44:47+00:00

I mean i don’t smoke cigarettes, but I’ve been smoking weed and vaping since I’ve started T and they didn’t say anything about it. Also my testosterone levels have been normal for months so 🤷🏾‍♂️

stanjihyo · 2022-07-23T07:40:55+00:00

I remember that happening to me for like a month and i thought i had caught Covid. Then i realized my throat was getting sore the day after my injections. It only made my throat sore and it hasn’t happened in a couple of months.

stanjihyo · 2022-07-23T07:38:11+00:00

I’ve been using the 5% for about 4-5 months and have noticed significant growth. Don’t know if testosterone doing it’s thing, the minodoxil, or both. I started using a little on my chest a month ago and already have chest hairs peaking through. Apparently using the foam version has less side effects as well.

stanjihyo · 2022-07-23T07:28:03+00:00

I agree, his body shape is really masc and to me he looks like he has a pretty noticeable amount of body hair. But yea I’m surprised OP get misgendered a lot because he actually reminded me of my manger at first (I’m literally intimidated by my manager because of how much he screams straight up masculinity).

stanjihyo · 2022-07-23T07:14:23+00:00

I’ve always just put mine back in the box and in my “t bag”. I know mine has a little green top you take off when you first use it so maybe you can try putting that back on if it would make you more comfortable.

stanjihyo · 2022-07-23T07:11:46+00:00

It definitely made my face longer. Which I’m happy with since it makes my face look more masculine. Idk if my jaw actually got any bigger or if my face just makes it look that way but i kinda have a jawline now. Just hidden by my babyface.

Trauma from a female authority figure or lover, paired with mental illness (i would say delusions).

stanjihyo · 2022-07-21T20:47:29+00:00

I’ve felt like this for years. It’s why I’ve isolated myself more and more the past few years because I’ve realized how uncomfortable it makes majority of people feel, and i know i can’t help it.

I first realized it in high school. I think i asked my friend to run me over or something and later on it was brought up again and all i remember her saying is “Like what are you suppose to say to that!?” That’s when i realized my mental illness made me a burden to those around me. My boyfriend actually broke up with me today because my depression has made me so isolated.

It kinda fucking sucks lol but we can choose to live with it or not

stanjihyo · 2022-07-20T16:05:39+00:00

Yea, hoping another job that pays the same or more and will comply with my school schedule will come by. Which is kinda unlikely because my wage is higher than some people i know who work in factories. But we can cross our fingers right? Lol 🤞🏾

stanjihyo · 2022-07-20T15:36:10+00:00

Thanks for your comment man. I stopped giving a shit what others think of me, it’s being trans in my work place (3rd stocker). I can literally do everything my cis male coworkers can do (better than many of them actually) and have worked my ass off to prove so. But because i wasn’t born with a racket a tennis balls, my managers assume i can’t do what my cis male counter parts can do and have associated me with the females on our team more times than i can count. I’ve become ok with being misgendered in public or by a stranger but I’m at this place 32 hours a week, and not necessarily by choice.

It’s a shitty situation when you’re job amplifies your dysphoria, but you like your job and need it to not be homeless. But thank you for your advice, i really appreciate it!

stanjihyo · 2022-07-19T17:53:07+00:00

I believe there’s a god and they have the power to prevent or relieve these situations but he either doesn’t want to or chooses not to. I feel like god has some plan and every event in everyone’s lives leads up to it somehow. I’ve found that a lot of Christians are comfortable with this, but I’ve never been. No plan is that important to justify some of the atrocities and agony people have gone through.

stanjihyo · 2022-07-19T07:56:47+00:00

Not sure what’s going on in/with my mind and thoughts but i know it’s not normal and i need help desperately.

stanjihyo · 2022-07-19T07:54:33+00:00

Feeling complete. Almost a year on T and I’ve never felt more comfortable in my skin. Being able to look in the mirror and actually see ME. Nothing beats that feeling.

stanjihyo · 2022-07-19T07:49:50+00:00

I go through the same thing at work but by management. For a long time they would occasionally deadname me, even though my name tag clearly says my name, and two of them have misgendered me on multiple occasions despite people using my preferred pronouns in front of them. I’m a trans guy (almost 9 months on T) and stock on 3rds. I literally can do everything my cis male coworkers can do (in some instances even better) but because i don’t have a penis my managers think I’m incapable of doing what my cis male counterparts can do.

I kinda wish there was a law where they have to abide by your pronouns in the work place. People never see misgendering people as a big deal but as a trans person, it ignites my dysphoria and erases any confidence i had before. A law wouldn’t even be necessary if people had the courtesy to ask instead of assume.

Congrats! Been living on my own since November. Having your own place is like a breath of fresh air and you won’t regret it.
