I'm worried I might get fired
I had to work today for the huge boxing day sale at our store. My shift started a 8 in the morning. For the first 6 hours things were going well, but the last hour of my shift was a nightmare. My boss called me to the back and told me to finish pricing some items on the shelf that hadnt been marked down yet. Then she drilled me about why the work hadnt been finished on christmas eve. I told her that it had been extremely busy with customers and that one of the staplers broke down that we were using to tag onto the clothing. She didnt buy it and said " oh so thats your explanation? " She asked me what I did about the stapler and I told her I talked to one of the managers and then she asked for her name and what she told me. It was like she didnt believe me or something. I was really upset because I worked my ass of on Christmas Eve and she thinks I was slacking off. There was no way I could have got all the work done with the volume of customers we had that day that needed to be served. She also blasted me for pricing something wrong by one little digit and said it was a "huge" mistake and could cost the department a lot of money.
Now I'm worried I'm going to get canned. I've only been with the store for up to two months and so far I've been an excellent employee, i've never phoned in sick and have showed up for all my shifts with enthuisam and am a hard worker.
Should I be worried? I have two days off and I'm hoping she'll calm down.
She also said that she wasnt just singling me out and that she was mad at some other girls who workd Xmas eve as well. And do you think she was being a little unfair to me?
thanks

From my perspective.....
during the hoilidays people are very stressed out, and maybe when u go back you should bring her a nice present, or buy her lunch.
i DONT thinkk you should be worried

I think, because now all the sales are going on..all the managers and bosses of every shop will go a little mad every now and again. But i wouldnt take it to heart. Just keep working hard and as soon as this sale rush is all over im sure you will be praised for the hard work you have given it

I can understand her reaction, it's an incredibly important business time of the year and if something's not going ideally, a boss can get annoyed.
She might cool down after 2 days... and she might just use the two plays to plan to get rid of you.
Does your boss have a superior that you can talk to? If not, you can just see if it blows over. If it doesn't, she'll probably talk to you before she just fires you -- most bosses do that, which will give you an opportunity to explain to her what happened.

Tsk, im sorry about what happened. Personally, I think she was just PMS-ing or you just caught her in a bad day. There are 2 days rest, and i think she has enough time to calm down. When you go back to work, still apologize to her for what happened.
Good Luck!
