stressed out about job
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

You should try to remain calm. Explain to her how you've been trying your hardest and perhaps you should ask her in what way she thinks you're doing a "lousy job" and how you can correct it. That way you look eager to improve, which always goes over well. If she continues to think you;re doing a "lousy job" then I would suggest you quietly try to find another job.
Good luck!

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!

First thing is so long as you show up for work, aren't rude to customers or goofing off all the time, I doubt she has a problem with you.
This being your first job, another thing you should know is that most co-workers in these type of jobs are big gossips. Most of what they say isn't true.
So, don't give up, hang in there. Talk to the supervisor if you have a meeting. It is not anything out of the ordinary. They do evaluations on everyone, that is how they determine raises in pay and that sort of thing.
Everyone who goes in there will have their good points and places where they need improvement. She will not yell at you or anything.
Sounds like you are doing your best. That's all anyone can expect. :)
