Redditor465728's journey

I just finished my first shift at a new warehouse job, and I'm feeling really uneasy about the whole experience. I've been under a lot of stress lately due to my grandad's health issues, so I was hoping this job would be a positive change after a long job search. The pay is decent at £16 an hour, and I can handle the work itself, but the atmosphere is concerning. Right from the start, I was instructed to follow another employee and only push the trolley if asked. However, I was criticized in front of other staff for not helping out, even though I was just following orders. The supervisor also raised his voice at me when I was waiting for him to finish explaining how to bag meat products before I jumped in to help. It felt really unprofessional and made me uncomfortable. Additionally, I overheard the supervisor making inappropriate comments about non-English speakers and struggling with a colleague's name, which added to my unease. I expected a welcoming environment, especially since this is a night shift team that supposedly prides itself on being sociable, but during my break, most people sat alone and barely spoke. To top it off, another manager confronted me in front of a large group, saying she shouldn't have even interviewed me. I was late due to traffic, and I felt like I was being scrutinized unfairly. Overall, I felt disrespected and belittled rather than trained. I'm not sure if I should stick it out for a few weeks to see if things improve, raise my concerns now, or start looking for another job before I get too invested. I'm really torn about whether I'm overreacting or if this is a genuine red flag for a toxic workplace.
