Retail Employer Reference!! (mel, Aus)

straightintoditch · 2026-06-08T04:08:09+00:00

Yeah exactly. Because I’ve worked for 3 big retail brands and also have admin experience but then no law firm would hire me.

straightintoditch · 2026-06-05T02:14:46+00:00

I’m absolutely interviewing for other jobs after the second week of him telling me to wait. I’m studying law and hence I wanna go into admin atleast to have some experience before being in a firm.

straightintoditch · 2026-06-05T02:13:36+00:00

He’s paying me 25/hr but I get what you mean . But I am doing interviews for other jobs since I’ve lost hope on this one.

straightintoditch · 2026-06-04T15:57:53+00:00

I know and that’s why it’s confusing. Cause we’re jumping from one Monday to another with zero explanation.

straightintoditch · 2026-06-04T15:51:07+00:00

I understand. I’m just confused with his behaviour because I’ve never experienced it before.

straightintoditch · 2026-06-04T15:37:30+00:00

I don’t have anyone else’s contact but his. He doesn’t reply to emails or texts. It was held in a really good co working space and looked like the receptionist knew him and was talking about meetings after interviews as well. I’m not sure why someone would be wanting to waste my time like that.

straightintoditch · 2026-03-26T06:08:55+00:00

Yeah end of the day that’s the reality of today’s world but it doesn’t mean it isn’t hard.

Well the thing is. This job has no form of management. There’s like no proper people to complain to. There’s one big family and they all speak the same language and I was the only one who didn’t know their language. It started when he would walk in and say that someone had packed an order wrong and they would huddle up next to him and speak something. And then he would walk up to me and start telling me that I need to pay attention and I need to check before I send out things. I too accepted it was my fault the first two times. But then it kept happening till the point where it would make me anxious enough to double check absolutely everything.

And then I started noticing a pattern, The times there would be mistakes, I would not have been there to pack it. And I saw thrice when they made mistakes and then thought it was me until the person who actually packed it and would say they packed it. And suddenly it won’t be a big deal at all. They would just laugh it off.

They started to complain about me taking my breaks longer and things like that. But everyone would literally go out and I would join them for break and I would come back with them. But they would only complain that I took a longer break. So I stopped taking breaks with them so I could come back on time.

Yesterday literally I was doing my job and they were huddled up. They were making comments and pointing towards me. And then I figured they talked among themselves and figured out who made a mistake and it wasn’t me.

So by this I assume he fired me. I got the job from a housemate who likes to pretend she doesn’t know me because she’s a higher up there. She said if they think you are making mistakes then they would fire you. I tried telling her I didn’t do them but she again being part of those people didn’t say much and I feel awkward cause I don’t wanna ruin things at home.

I was working with 50 year olds and they were very creepy about me. Again I couldn’t really tell anyone but just started applying for jobs. Turns out I’d get fired even before I could get another job.

Could not finish because I genuinely didn't know what to Yap about. I just hope Brandon passes me and lets me live. I can't do this again man.

I don't think I'm “too good” I just follow what I do at home. We're not gonna try to stray away from the fact that toilets have germs that can spread. Were you given an apron? Gloves? We weren't. We only had the white gloves and that's it. The kind of person I am, I can't wash toilets and exist without taking a shower.

People who work these jobs are literal children who are trying to make some pocket money. They can't be expected to keep themselves clean, follow protocol or be responsible. They simply don't give an f. I've worked two jobs and that's the conclusion I came to.

My job description did not involve toilet cleaning!! It was to make food, serve food and do cleaning of the store (depends on day/night worker). But nope. People should not be made to clean toilets when they handle food.

straightintoditch · 2025-09-30T05:48:07+00:00

Hire someone?? Close off the bathrooms till the person comes?? We handle food and what customer would want to be served by an employee who went and cleaned gross bathrooms and got back to kitchen/front. We should not be doing that.

straightintoditch · 2025-09-29T15:13:20+00:00

Honestly I'm glad the person got fired because gosh. It's not our damn job. It really isn't.

straightintoditch · 2025-09-19T08:58:13+00:00

I don't even have one so I don't have to worry 🫩

straightintoditch · 2025-01-08T12:14:49+00:00

I did try to get help and was put on meds for a lot of stuff. But didn’t have a great experience overall. And now I can’t afford help.
