I just started a new job last week. The store is brand new so everyone is on a 3 month probation. I've been working for a week and have always been on closing shifts.
Well tomorrow we are having a staff meeting for all the girls in our department. (the clothing department). I've never actually worked with my supervisor yet because she always leaves by the time my shifts starts.
The problem is I've been hearing from the other girls that she thinks I've been doing a lousy job. I'm trying the hardest I can. We have to deal with cutomers, make the clothing look tidy and do the cleaning. By the time I get home I'm exhausted.
The meeting is tomorrow. How should I act when my boss tells me what a horrible job I'm doing? I'm so stressed I'm thinking of quitting by then again I really need this job for the money.
I rate high
thanks

I'm not bothered about the rating - I just want to help.
IF your boss tells you that you're doing a lousy job, why don't you say something on the lines of:
"With all due respect, I believe I have done more than a good job during this week, I have delt with every customer with a smile and tried my hardest to keep this store clean. When I get home, I'm exhausted but I like doing this job and I am prepared to work my hardest to keep it"
Good luck!
