I’ve been working a retail job for a year and a half. I’m 21 and have been there since I was 19. It’s near my house
I am a full time college student but I’m mostly scheduled at the job on the weekends
I kinda ranted to my dad about how I felt and he said jobs aren’t required to be there for you but the thing is I feel like the value everyone else but me. The managers are so fake and nice and only tell me things to keep me there because they need workers. On everyone’s birthday we have a groupchat and everyone has gotten a shoutout.
We even had this manager who’s not longer here and everyone loved her so much and she was honestly very mediocre and never did anything for anybody. She also hated the fact that I was in college.
For her birthday we all signed a card and they gave her a huge party in the back room. One manager told me happy birthday and no one asked how my birthday went. ( by the way they knew it was my birthday because it was posted )
This hurt me a little. Also we have walls where you can shout people out and I’ve never been shouted out for anything. I’m always the cashier and I’m great at it and have never really gotten anything for it or any type of praise.
All the managers are friends and close and some of the coworkers and none of them include me in anything. This other manager who I thought I was close with ( she’s called me pretty a lot in the past ) didn’t even tell me happy birthday but there the main ones to shout other people out. Also they’re in their 30s and I’ve heard them gossip about some other employees. There’s a new manager ( I love her ) and today she asked if I was lead cashier. I told her I didn’t know that was a thing and she said she wants to make me one. I’ve never got employee of the month won anything or nothing. I plan on graduating and doing something in journalism so this isn’t my forever job but I’m feeling so unappreciated and drained at this job and parking is a nightmare. What do I do?
