I started a new job 4 days ago @ a 24/7 coffee shop in Canada. I work the graveyard shift. I am a white 20 y/o male. I am not judgemental & have a good personality, & have never had a problem like this @ any of the past jobs I have worked.
Let me start by explaining that I am the only person at work whose first language is english. I am not by any means racist, but I find it kind of rude when all shift, everybody is talking in filipino to eachother & I have no idea what they are saying. I would like to get to know my co-workers, & chat with them, but the fact that I don't know their language makes that impossible. I feel like the outcast.
They gave me next to NO training, & expect me to know how to make sandwitches & work the register. They leave me alone @ the cash register to look like a fucking idiot, & when I ask them for help they act like im being a burden.
Around 5 AM the people that work the morning shift start coming in, & its awful. I can tell they don't like me by the way they look at me, & talk to me (This includes the store manager). They expect me to be very good at my job by now, & if I had proper training I would be. When I screw something up they get mad @ me. & they speak filipino to eachother & every now & then I hear my name. They are making it very clear that they are talking about me.
The city I am in has a tough economy, & ever since I quit my last job its takin 3 months of LONG HARD job hunting to even get this one. So I can't & won't quit, but I of course will continue job hunting on my days off. I just need to cope with this job until then. I have never hated a job this much. Every time im taking the bus to work I have this feeling of "fuck my life", & when I get there its worse.
