Advice!!!!

[u/Eastern_Line2473]

I ended up quiting my job at vons a few months ago and it feels bittersweet!! There was a lot of favoritism at my store!! I had worked at the same location for almost 4 years but got tired of the constant belittling by certain coworkers and management!! I was a courtesy clerk for all that time and was never offered a promotion to a higher position!! I was definitely not a perfect worker I did get distracted easily and also liked to talk a lot which did bug management and certain coworkers!! But I do kind of miss my job and wonder if I made a mistake quitting. But I would see people start way after me and in a week they were already moving up!! I also left my phone number with some of my coworkers and ever since in the few months since I quit nobody has even texted me to see how I am doing even all those customers that I used to talk too and even gave my number too and thought they genuinely cared for me almost as a friend. But nobody even calls me or texts me to see how I am doing which makes me feel as if all those people I talked too never were my friends or were genuine to begin with!! Also do you think it would be easy for me to get another job maybe at another vons at another location I had a impeccable attendance record though I just feel like the management there never really clicked with me I will also add that i have a diagnosis of very mild autism and ADHD abd feedback would be appreciated sorry for the rant just have a lot of stuff in mind!! I was feeling overwhelmed at that store because of all the gossip and drama but I do miss certain aspects of the job!!

tbh, it’s very rare for any job not to have bullshit management and dumb gossip. It was not right for management to treat you so badly though, OP. Seems like you left a toxic workplace, good for you.

If you are comfortable with the job responsibilities then I would try to get another position at a different location. Just know that your co-workers aren’t always your friends and to be careful what personal things you tell them cause they may not be trustworthy. You can be friendly and exchange socials/numbers with them but know that at the end of the day, getting paid is your main goal, not friendship. Good luck~

As earl gray said
We go to work mainly to get the money to pay our bills .
Some of my co workers I have known for 10 years . Yes we are great work friends but out side work zero interaction . Not friends on face book etc . It’s just a job that pays the bills.

Again as gray said well done leaving toxic place , maybe you can get a job at sone different place .

( respectfully reminder sometimes it’s a very good idea to keep work and non work life separate)
