im a 23 year old man with pretty bad anxiety. I started my first job in sales, a gig at a smartphone store, and im worried at the moment. ive finished my online training modules and it is likely that ill be getting some on the floor training starting tomorrow. the manager was out today and i had a long chat with my coworker about what to expect and while he did say it was chill for the most part he did mention the scoring system our store uses and that we have to get at least a certain ammount of points from sales to avoid being written up.

hearing this really set off my anxiety. he did say i should be fine as long as i try my best and work hard but that last statement stuck with me. ive never had a performance based job before and while i knew there were sales goals it didnt sink in till today how big of an impact they have.

Im so scares about being yelled at for something not entirely in my control. I could do by absolute best at selling and still fall short and be punished just cause not enough people are willing to buy from me. and this is all asuming i do good, i probablly wont since im soft spoken forgetful and ive never had a sales job before.

im trying really hard to calm down and reconcile this worry and have it not ruin my evening but i cant. im scared what getting fired despite trying my best will do to my self-worth.

i started a new job in sales and having never worked sales before i dont think i cant do it after my first day of training. i was doing the training modules and there was so much stuff to learn and even though i tried my best the absorbtion isnt there. im so fucked, i cant stop hyperventilating and crying. im going to look stupid and be fired so fast once i start, i should have known this job was beyond me.

should i quit now and look for a new job or wait to be fired in a week.

i got a sales job at a phone store and just got through my first day. all i did was training modules on a computer and took part in a couple of teams calls. there is honestly so much content covered and im not sure if i can remember all of it despite trying hard to. i cant see myself doing well in this job at all and im really worried after today. im also worried the manager does not like me, maybe im reading too much into it but it seemed like she was annoyed when i asked her questions so i tried to keep them to a minimum.

overall i dont have much faith this will be a good job for me and im wondering if i should stick it out and get as much money from them as i can or quit so i dont waste their time on me.
