TOdaywas the start of a beautiful Monday, it was my first day at my new job. I was anxious to meet my co-associates and determined to make the best of the opportunity I was provided. As I walked into the store corporate office, I stopped immediately after entering the door. I took a deep breathe and proceeded to grab my purse and my lunch bag I had sat down briefly. I walked towards my locker and placed my things inside. I hung my coat up in the area with the rest of the employees. I was determined to make a good impression on my first day on the job. Excited and smiling, I walked towards the back area of the offices to meet with my training supervisor who hired me. She was scheduled to come in two hours after me, which meant that I was own my own. I had taken the initiative to find my work area and introduce myself to the department manager I would be working with. I shadowed her for the first half hour while she rang up the customers. It was now time for me to log-in myself and complete my own customer transactions. After three failed attempts, I paused and returned to the office to locate a floor manager. Dolores was eager to assist me with getting my employee ID registered into the system so I could perform register transactions on my own. When I returned to the work area, I began assisting customers. I was enjoying myself for my first day on the job. The register was very user-friendly and I enjoyed talking with and helping my customers. After the late-morning rush was over there was extra time that I needed to occupy by keeping myself busy. I walked around the fitting room area to collect any clothing that had been left behind after the customers made their purchases. I returned the items to their respectful area, and remembered that I had to speak with Larita regarding my schedule. Business was slow after the lunch rush, so I figured it was the perfect opportunity to speak with Larita. I had recently expressed to Larita that I would not be able to work late evenings due to transportation issues. She was very stern in her tone while talking to me regarding the problem. Earlier that morning I had spoken to Allen about possibly allowing me to work within a certain time frame, but due to other circumstances I was advised otherwise. I felt overwhelmed, and  could not  believe how unwilling they were to accommodate me for that first week of employment. I felt a cold sense of non-chalantness in the care of my employment with their company. I felt like I was just another person, not quite a valuable asset to the corporation. The feeling was that of a nobody in society, like my opinion did not count. Not to mention, I shop at this retailer more frequent than any other retailer. My loyalty to their organization was really runied after being treated so poorly. I had shopped with the store faithfully for the past six years. Prior to that, I had never really shopped their since high school. Bras, Panties, Pants, Tops, Hair supplies, you name it, I bought it from them. What a way to re-pay someone’s loyalty, I figured. After such a heart wrenching experience, ive learned to never put all my eggs into one basket. Acquiring that job was a relief from my depression, and a brightening of my future. I was so dissapointed that it did not work out, but even more dissapointed in the organization I had given my heart and dedication to over the years. I am determined to make it, and already have an interview with another prominent organization that is just as good, or better than theirs. Ive already discussed the scheduling prior to me interviewing. I am gonna start fresh with a positive attitude and a smile on my face. I am sure my employer will be happy to have someone like myself, that is dedicated to achieving sucess.
