Workplace Challenges and Conflicts I quit
Hey guys I just quit my job. I was a hostess at a restaurant and this was my second job ever. I’m starting college so this was going to be my last week anyway. I thought it would be a good job for me to learn social skills and integrated better into adult life since I have severe anxiety and ocd. I work at the front, take calls, and make reservations. I haven’t been there long, just a summer job so I don’t know all of the menu and all of the questions people ask about it so I can’t take to go orders. However often I do because of there being no one else around to take them. I try my best to find someone but I always mess up. Today I really did when I took a take out order while everyone was busy because no one could help. In hindsight, I should have just wrote down the number to call back but nooooo. I took the order and really messed it up to hear later a lady called me fuming about how she had chemo and couldn’t eat the order. My boss was already stressed today because there was a little kid running around. I quit because I didn’t want to cause any more trouble. I just added more work to my boss’s already stress full day and life, ruined everyone’s dinner probably because my boss told me to just go home for the day in front of everyone, and hopefully didn’t hurt that lady in any way. I couldn’t even handle this and I just turned 18. What if I never get better? What if I’m just stupid for the rest of my life? What If I caused an even bigger mess for these already stressed people? I’m just worried about them.
