I’ve been feeling really anxious about my job lately. I’m 17 and have been working at a grocery store for about 7 months now. The past couple of days have been really rough, and I’m worried I might get fired. A few weeks ago, my shared register was found to be $100 short, and while I don’t know if it was my fault, I was put on isolation. There were several other people using that register, so I don’t think it’s fair to single me out. They didn’t accuse me of stealing, but I still received a documented coaching, which feels like a warning. Then, today, I messed up my schedule and showed up 20 minutes late because I thought my shift started at 1:30 instead of 10. To make matters worse, I started my period and was in so much pain that I had to leave early. I’ve been dealing with severe cramps and I even vomited when I got home. A couple of weeks ago, I had to leave early too because my dog passed away, and I know that’s not a great excuse. I really love working here; it’s been a great outlet for me, especially since I struggle with social anxiety. But with everything that’s been happening, I’m terrified that it’s going to cost me my job. I just wish things would turn around soon.
