I started my job as a part-time associate at a retail store about a month ago, and I feel completely lost. When I was hired, I was promised comprehensive training that included cash handling and sizing, but the reality has been far from that. My training consisted of just shadowing one coworker for a short time and a brief introduction to the fitting rooms. Since then, I've been trying my best to help customers and meet sales goals with almost no guidance. Currently, I'm only scheduled for 3 hours a week, which makes it really challenging to improve my sales skills. To make matters worse, I’ve noticed that two new employees have been hired and they’re getting scheduled for shifts 2-3 times a week, while I can barely manage one shift. Recently, I offered to cover a shift for a coworker to show my eagerness for more hours, but the manager decided to give it to someone else without even mentioning my offer to me. This has left me feeling like I’m not valued at all. I can’t help but wonder if I’m doing something wrong or if I just don’t fit in with the team. I’ve never felt this way before; after two years of job searching, I thought I had finally found a position. Now, I feel worthless and question my self-worth, especially since I’m not conventionally attractive. I just want to be treated like a human being. I know that part-time shifts are generally 3-5 hours long, and while I’ve worked a 5-hour shift before, the fact that I’m only getting scheduled once a week since day one is really disheartening. I was supposed to receive proper training in-store, but instead, I was told to do it at home. I’m really struggling with this situation and hope to find a way to feel valued again.
