After five years of working in that pit, the toxicity of assuming I had friendships, how did I?

My last straw that broke me mentality was when I realized my friend Shelly for years, turned out to be the one causing all my drama at work.

Way before I ended up pregnant with the same person that my old boss literally placed on a pillow, Catherine. Now, Catherine and I did end up pregnant at the same time and I was excited to share the experience.

Until I realized Catherine was throwing me under the bus with our mutual friend Kris. Kris was young, and I thought she was kind. She showed me her true colors when I rounded the corner to find her, Catherine, Shelly and our boss Shasta talking about me. I still cant get that smirk out of my head, it was cat like...and I was their mouse. 

Shasta, she broke my heart the moment she pulled me into the office before her promotion. She started demanding I owned up talking to HR about our old boss, Clint. I kept denying it only to find out thst Shelly used me as a escape goat. 

Shasta now the manager, and Shelly the assistant. Didn't know I would be treated with lack of care. They were never my friends neither, along with Lela, and Abe. 

Abe really shocked me, I honestly thought he would have cared. He didn't, he actually joined in with them and even as a school counselor for a elementary school. I felt safe around him, and I would tell him things only to discover he told Shasta and Shelly everything. I should've known he wasn't nice wheb he stole cash rewards from our customers and handed them out to Lela and Kris. 

Who would believe me? Even if I went to HR, no one from that store would have stood up for me. Even when I thought Lela was my friend. When he would comfort me when Shasta or Catherine was mean to me. She would text Shelly while at work when Shelly was off about updates about me. I guess being paid under the table to watch Shelly's son got you in the pharmacy.

The same position I was working towards but Shasta told me I was too far along in my pregnancy to take the courses. The same pregnancy that was constantly compared to Catherine when she is 10 years younger than me. 

I struggled to get pregnant and these people that I thought cared about me nearly caused me to lose him when I was sent to the ER for being dehydrated for run ing back and forth in the summer front counter and photo. Only to know that Kris and Abe was just sitting in the stockroom talking.

Matt was my only true friend, he was ran out by Shasta due to being trans. Abe would even, as someone from the  rainbow club, join in.  Not surprised, I always felt that he wasnt one of the good soul; even though his a Sunday school teacher as well on top of being a school counselor. No, Matt was and still is good. I remember when HR was called, Shasta called my cellphone demanding I tell her who called HR. I was so scared, Matt never held it against me for not speaking my truth. I was going through the worse PPD, and Matt held me as I cried. 


How did I survive? 

I held onto that hug from Matt, even when he had to leave. Matt was my only true friend from that store. I may have had to be in the pit for years , but Matt showed me even when you are down, you don't stop.

I did, I held on tight for not only myself but for my son. My son needed me to work because we lost our benefits despite my husband losing his job. The weight came off not because of my workout plan I told my ex coworkers, but I starved.

Our foodstamps have been taken along with my son's wic and insurance. I made aure my husband and son ate while I struggled to pay my own bills. Work was cutting back on my hours due to my spinal injury from giving birth. 

(Don't get me started on the bullying and harassment Shasta and that whole team put me through over my stool. Which, it was rainbowed colored)

The way those women gossip behind my back, but I kept going. Despite the looks, the whispers, and the fake smiles. Even when I was pulled in the office with my two very "best friends" from the start  Shasta and Shelly and threw a "Mental Health" packet and in a professional way 

'We are going to fire you'

News flash, thank you Matt for helping me get enrolled into the free therapy 🥰😘

They were shocked to find out that I was already 6 weeks into my therapy. Soon, Shelly world came all crasijg down, the lies she built on me tumbled, out the door she went leaving me with Shasta and  Catherine .

Yet, I already had my foot out the door and into another job before the holidays. Your scape goat and working mule is OUT OF HERE

Spite. 

It was Spite

How did I survive?

Despois de cinco anos traballando nesa fosa, a toxicidade de asumir que tiña amizades, como o fixen?

A miña última gota que rompeu a miña mentalidade foi cando me dei conta de que a miña amiga Shelly durante anos resultou ser a que causaba todo o meu drama no traballo.

Moito antes de quedar embarazada co mesmo persoa que o meu antigo xefe literalmente colocou sobre unha almofada, Catherine. Agora, Catherine e eu acabamos quedando embarazadas ao mesmo tempo e estaba emocionada por compartir a experiencia.

Ata que me dei conta de que Catherine me estaba traizoando co noso amigo mutuo Kris. Kris era nova, e pensaba que era amable. Mostroume a súa verdadeira cara cando dobrei a esquina e a atopei a ela, Catherine, Shelly e a nosa xefa Shasta falando de min. Aínda non podo sacar esa sonrisa da miña cabeza, era como a de un gato... e eu era o seu rato.

Shasta, rompéronme o corazón no momento en que me puxo na oficina antes da súa promoción. Comezou a esixir que asumira que falara con RRHH sobre o noso antigo xefe, Clint. Seguí a negalo só para descubrir que Shelly me usou como un chivo expiatorio.

Shasta agora é a xestora, e Shelly a asistente. Non sabía que me tratarían con falta de coidado. Nunca foron as miñas amigas, xunto con Lela e Abe.

Abe realmente me sorprendeu, honestamente pensaba que lle importaría. Non lle importou, de feito, uniuse a eles e incluso como conselleiro escolar para unha escola primaria. Sentíame segura ao seu redor, e contáballe cousas só para descubrir que lle contaba a Shasta e Shelly todo. Debería ter sabido que non era amable cando roubou recompensas en efectivo dos nosos clientes e llas deu a Lela e Kris.

Quen me crería? Mesmo se fose a RRHH, ninguén daquela tenda se levantaría por min. Mesmo cando pensaba que Lela era a miña amiga. Cando me consolaba cando Shasta ou Catherine eran malas comigo. Ela enviaba mensaxes a Shelly mentres estaba no traballo cando Shelly estaba de folga sobre actualizacións sobre min. Supoño que ser pagada en negro para coidar do fillo de Shelly fixo que entrara na farmacia.

A mesma posición á que estaba a traballar, pero Shasta díxome que estaba demasiado avanzada na miña gravidez para tomar os cursos. A mesma gravidez que se comparaba constantemente con Catherine, que é 10 anos máis nova ca min.

Luchei por quedar embarazada e estas persoas que pensaba que se preocupaban por min case me fixeron perder ao meu fillo cando me enviaron á sala de urxencias por deshidratación por correr de un lado a outro no mostrador e na foto durante o verán. Só para saber que Kris e Abe estaban sentados na sala de almacenamento falando.

Matt era o meu único verdadeiro amigo, foi expulsado por Shasta por ser trans. Abe incluso, como alguén do club do arco da vella, uniuse. Non me sorprende, sempre sentín que non era unha boa alma; a pesar de ser profesor de escola dominical e conselleiro escolar. Non, Matt era e segue sendo bo. Recordo cando chamaron a RRHH, Shasta chamou ao meu teléfono exixindo que lle dixese quen chamou a RRHH. Estaba tan asustada, Matt nunca me o reprochou por non falar a miña verdade. Estaba pasando pola peor depresión postparto, e Matt sostívoime mentres choraba.

Como sobrevivín?

Agarrei ese abrazo de Matt, mesmo cando tivo que marchar. Matt era o meu único verdadeiro amigo daquela tenda. Pode que tivese que estar na fosa durante anos, pero Matt demostroume que mesmo cando estás abaixo, non te detés.

Fixen, agarrei con forza non só por min senón polo meu fillo. O meu fillo necesitaba que traballase porque perdemos os nosos beneficios a pesar de que o meu marido perdeu o seu traballo. O peso foi diminuíndo non porque seguise o meu plan de exercicio que lle dixen aos meus ex compañeiros de traballo, senón porque pasei fame.

Os nosos vales de comida foron retirados xunto co WIC e o seguro do meu fillo. Asegureime de que o meu marido e o meu fillo comesen mentres eu loitaba por pagar as miñas propias contas. O traballo estaba

Como sobrevivín?

Familia - ir de vacacións
Familia - mudarse

What do you do for a living?

Que fas para gañar a vida?

Try the outfit for Friday …

Proba o conxunto para o venres …

There are days when rest isn’t an option, but quitting never is. One day, all of this hard work will be worth it.

Tired

Hai días nos que descansar non é unha opción, pero rendirse nunca o é. Un día, todo este duro traballo valerá a pena.

Cansado

Sometimes at work when I am at place where they have pet I can't help myself. This cutie pie was with me the whole time when I was cleaning and did the the windows ( 34 windows on the inside and 34 windows for the outside = 68 windows) took me around 5hr50min to do it all 👌

How was your day?

Life of a housecleaner

A miúdo no traballo, cando estou nun lugar onde teñen mascotas, non podo evitarme. Este pequeno foi comigo todo o tempo mentres limpaba e fixen as fiestras (34 fiestras por dentro e 34 fiestras por fóra = 68 fiestras) leváronme arredor de 5h50min para facelo todo 👌

Como foi o teu día?

Here we go again

E a partir de mañá á noite despois do meu traballo de 8 a 5 facendo atención ao cliente de 6 a 9 volverei ao meu último traballo facendo telemarketing 🙃 cando vou ter tempo para unha vida 😅 faise ou rómpese, son eu? Non lembro que me etiquetaran e non quero xogar a este xogo de novo 😮‍💨 c'est la vie

Aquí imos de novo

Spent the whole day cleaning one of my favorite workplaces, plus every window today. My body is officially done 😅 But only a few more days until vacation starts on Friday 🥳🪟✨

My work today 🥳✨️🙏

Paséi todo o día limpando un dos meus lugares de traballo favoritos, ademais de cada fiestra hoxe. O meu corpo está oficialmente rematado 😅 Pero só quedan uns poucos días ata que comece a vacación o venres 🥳🪟✨

O meu traballo hoxe 🥳✨️🙏

Supervisors are scattered and sleeping...

Os supervisores están dispersos e durmindo...

Night shifts....feels like lucid dreaming ... sometimes you are not sure if you are still awake or if you finally fell asleep...dying here 😴

🫩

Turnos de noite....séntese como un soño lúcido ... ás veces non estás seguro se segues espertando ou se finalmente te durmiches...morrendo aquí 😴

Thankfully only the 3rd floor this time… unlike that one time on the 11th floor with one foot on the railing. 😅

More Window cleaning

Afortunadamente só o 3º andar esta vez… ao contrario daquela vez no 11º andar cun pé na barandilla. 😅
