Burnout - rant
So i’ve been working at Lidl for about 10 months now and i’m just so done. People say “oh every day is different” I can tell you now it’s not. My average day goes as follows: Get to work, get told to take my till out, spend 9.5 hrs on tills + break, go home usually at 8pm as i’m only ever scheduled 10-8 and Sundays. Most of the rude people don’t even bother me anymore I’ve lost all emotion.
Today I just had people constantly complaining or saying oh you look dead try smile more, or one woman complaining i looked miserable and apparently that’s rude like don’t say anything if you have nothing positive to say.
I ask management oh could i possibly decard today or help with back-stock and i constantly get the same reply, no we need you on tills today. I do have one manager he’s my favourite, always cheers me up and lets me get off my till for a while because he understands it’s draining.
One manager said to me, you need to prove to me you can decard properly and not do a half arsed job, (for context the one time I did that was because it was a sunday and we was supposed to finish 1 hr prior and we was all still there so I couldn’t really give a toss if it wasn’t perfect.) and then i said, how can i prove to you i can if im always on tills and never get a chance to do anything else.
I honestly almost quit today because im so done with it and got so angry deep down that I let myself put up with this job. But the job market is so bad i literally cannot afford to leave so what do I do..
