I am a 19 year old college student. Like any college student, I could use the extra money, so I got a job. It's a local fast food joint. I started back in November as a cook, and have been there about 8 months.
Here are the major pros. It's incredibly flexible. I can have six days a week, and close to overtime, or when I am in school I can have two or three days. I can pretty much name my hours. I make a decent amount in the summer time, since I'm not in school. The owner, and my boss, loves me. I am a very hard worker, and never call off, and I am never late. I also like working there.
The cons: The people. I am a sensitive dude, and I've never been used to people always talking crap about one another. Some of the people in there just don't like me, for no reason. Or they pretend to like me to my face, and talk crap. I hate working in that environment. I have a few friends there, but one quit, and the other ones are kinda sketchy towards me. Like they only talk to me if there little click is not working the same shift, All the trash talk is what gets to me. I can't work somewhere where I feel everyone hates me.
The thing is though, I haven't been the nicest person either. I used to never talk about anyone before I started working there, now I not only talk about co workers from time to time, but people I don't even work with, I am not very patient when it comes to training new people, and tend to snap and yell. When there is a rush, I feel like I suck because of the people around me. I hate how I snap and yell at everyone.
I know how to do everything in the kitchen, but I still make these really stupid mistakes, Even after eight months. Whether it be not putting bacon on that burger,or forgetting to put something on the grill. I hate how I make these mistakes, when I shouldn't. I really try not too, but always do.
Should I stay, or leave?
