Question Posted Thursday December 29 2005, 4:21 pm
My shift starts at 5 pm pacific time tonight at work and I am terrified to go. This is because on my last shift my boss lit into me for not having gotten some of the work done on Xmas Eve and that I had priced something wrong. It was not all my fault that the work hadnt been done that night because the store was so busy and I really did work my tail off, but because she wasnt there on Xmas Eve she couldnt have seen me working and now she thinks I'm a slacker.
She was SO hard on me, I mean she was drilling me why things hadnt gotten done and I seriously felt like I was on trial in a court of law for murder of somthing. Usually she is nice but when she's in a bad mood- watch out!
She did however say to me that she wasnt just singling me out and that there were 3 other girls on that night that she was angry with too.
I only get paid 55 cents more than minimum wage per hour and the job isnt that great, but still I would be really upset to get fired because I really like all the girls I work with.
My question is how can I relax tonight around my boss? Should I just act like nothing happened on boxing day and keep working hard?
