>boss leaves his emails open
>I scroll through and see he is talking to his superior
>I get described as "unconfident" and "anxious"
>Tfw I thought I was the office laidback coolguy/lonewolf up to that point
Why is my perception of myself so skewed?
I feel you man.
I went to a taco bell to apply for a job. Im friends with half the staff so i asked them to put in a good word for me.
Talked to the manager filled an application.
Next day my friend told me "he said some fat kid walked in and he was really shy so he didnt hire him"
Not only am i unhiriable due to my autism but apperantly im also fat.
Its a common trait of pussies
Call themselves laid back and level-headed when really they are just scared of asserting themselves for fear of causing confrontation.
Shit brahs that hurts
>tfw always anxious my coworkers all hate me despite me getting treated perfectly fine
>be me
>be nice to everyone
>get told I'm too nice
>start being less nice
>get told im an asshole
>be myself
>myself depends on my mood at the time without consideration for others
Can't win desu
How do you guys get jobs with anxiety?
I only got as far as an interview and thats with knowing people. The thing that fucks me over more is when i get anxious my eyes and cheeks start twitching which usually turns off employers when i ask for an application or get interviewed.
Some of us arent dumb apes that need to beat their chests in every social situation to assert their shitty image.
>manager talks to supervisor
>apparently I'm too "broody" while behind the counter
I work at a fucking Mormon sandwich shop. They expect me to act like I'm waiting to ride a roller coaster, instead of making grilled cheese for fatasses all day
I don't even have resting bitch face. I'm just expected to provide "service with enthusiasm" while slicing the fucking bread.
Your perception of yourself is skewed because people don't speak honestly about you to you. Stop trusting your interactions with others as legitimate indicators of how you are perceived.
What you might think now is that you are stuck in this position of seeming unconfident. This isn't the case. If you start coming off as more confident, your boss won't think "wow that's weird" but rather "wow I guess I was wrong." People are very good at convincing themselves of rational explanations of things, so it won't look like you read emails about yourself like a self conscious pussy.

The definition of beta is to work to make someone else money.

No they don't. You might feel like they do, but you will always feel so much more nervous than you look. I bet nobody notices. Rock that shit
Read my above story. They will work you until you give up, and then replace you. They do not care about you. You are a forgettable machine that makes money, You are not a person, you are just a till worker. Pretend you are happy doing mundane work and you can be paid scraps.
Lol. Keep defending your betaness.
It's nothing to do with asserting ego. It's to do with not being a complete bitch.
>They will work you until you give up, and then replace you.
That's not how jobs work you scrub. They want to keep good workers and cycle out shit ones. My manager's just pissy about employee attitude.
I actually do the work they tell me to do, so last time I put in my 2 weeks, they offered me a dollar/hr raise if I stay. No other service job in the area pays higher than 10 an hr.
What the fuck are my other options until I get my degree? It's not like making sandwiches is salt mine labor.
>the office laidback coolguy/lonewolf
lol
protip: read boss's emails
Now pretend he sees things EXACTLY as they are
You're 9/10 closer to the truth
Just fix your dumb ass shit and he'll love you
really? i always felt i was like that but i got pissed off at my manager one day and he asked if something was wrong cause im always "cool calm and collected"
another manager told me i was cool as a cucumber, sometimes other superiors treat me like im a slacker though
i sometimes feel anxious at work and agitated.. like any other human being i imagine
>10 an hr.
man you need to apply yourself or get out of bumble fuck town. I was at $15 an hour working at a doctor's office when I was 17. Do you want to live your life cutting sandwiches?
>being laidback and not carying about shitty social roles in a workplace is beta
Ok pal make sure to beat your chest real hard so Stacy can know who the real alpha is.
hey guise so i am a manager. i have a lot of staff and some people got back from vacation. in the time they were on vacation i gave other staff a lot more hours. when they got back i cut back one shift from a persons schedule (they are all part time). this person bitched me out via email, like gave me shit. i am this persons boss. how should i discipline.
>I was at $15 an hour working at a doctor's office when I was 17.
t. suburbia
Fuck off with your silver spoon bullshit
>lonewolf
No user. You are the friendless autist.
Realize you're just a petty autist who isn't aware how badly some people need their shifts.
how the fuck did you get to be manager if youre asking 4chin for help lmfao
if you're unionized the people with more seniority deserve more hours if not it's still a shitty thing to do. but if they're part time they can't say much really. just my two cents.
if i were you i would just make it back normal next schedule and let them know it was because of their vacation
>The definition of beta is to work to make someone else money.
So literally everyone who isn't Rockerfeller, Rothschild, Murdoch-tier is beta.

Welcome to working life. Enjoy your stay.
>you work too fast user
i'm not reeeeally asking i'm just bored and lonely. i just need some kind of conversational reciprocation and this is on my mind, and conveniently this thread is on Veeky Forums. off to masturbate!
Aren't lonewolves autists though?
Lonewolves aren't a thing. It's a meme autismos use to justify having no friends.
alright lol what are you gonna do then?
>check boss' notes
>"user makes other staff uncomfortable. Consider running security screening/firearm registration check."
why would you want to be a """lonewolf"""" at your job though?
even if you fucking hate every one of your co-workers, you still act social and co-operative so you don't look like a massive sperg. it might make christmas parties and shit torturous having them all be shit or dull but i mean come on m8.
im a lone wolf type and i have lots of friends and hang out with the popular party kids that listen to nigga beats
This is what I was thinking
Are you also a...... driver?
>the office lonewolf
come on man the fucking lonewolf of the office? You really thought that's how everyone saw you?
>wow user on lunch break and didn't sit or talk to anyone, he's so mysterious such a lonewolf.
Someone better screepcap this whole fucking thread its absolutely ridiculous, Veeky Forums you are truly outdoing yourself
Good job, employee. Don't try to be human, socializing is not what you are paid for. Just work. Work is what you live for.
This. Lone wolf doesn't exist unless you're really rock it, like being homeless and traveling the world. Look at Trump. He's rich, looked up to by so many, and successful. But when you realize he doesn't have any friends (he has said this) he doesn't suddenly become a lone wolf stoic alpha. It only lowers your opinion of him, even though he's successful.
probably give said person extra shifts. i have a new hire that we are considering letting go, whom i have already spoken to about their performance, twice. that would definitely open up some space, but i guess i really don't want to bring myself to doing so, thus procrastinating and releasing some anguish to my Veeky Forums friends.
i just "drove" if you know what i mean :^)
you're alright man
If you feel like you want to speak up but you feel afraid of causing a scene or something (you'll know whether you're afraid or if you just don't care) then you're a beta
>See HR report on me
>"Potential rapist"
I socialize im not OP but i dont care to assert myself as the alpha ape in the area.

muh nigga
I hate work I can't act normal, I get an overload of anxiety after 2 or 3 hours and start acting weird and making weird expressions, my boss hates me, everyone thinks I'm a weirdo or thinks I'm pathetic. My bosses refuse to give me any responsibilitys besides the entry level responsibility I can't function normally I'm always angry enough to start a fight, depressed, or nice to the point that I seem like a fag
You'll get a raise if you rise above their expectations, user.
Bring your cum lube in, just in case he shares your taste.
captcha: hotel cockman
You are a weirdo and you are pathetic. The sooner you accept this the sooner you can take steps to improve your situation.
If any post deserves a fedora reaction image, it's this one. Fortunately for you, I don't have any on my phone. Seems like you lucked out kid.
I got you famalam
I hope you realize that you literally just described the beta mindset. No shame breh
Despite being weird, I've never been able to explain why it has worked to my advantage.
All of my bosses remember me at a distance of years, despite me being completely unremarkable.
I'm always given more slack than others, my mistakes are always forgiven, in case I mess up the situation always seems to solve itself somehow without me needing to put particular effort into it.
Multiple times, while discussing things like workload or pay, I've been told "You know, with others we don't even usually talk like this, I just order it and it's done."
But then they would ask me about it as if I had any decisional power over it, and they generally did as I asked, be it for a payraise or a switch in hours.
Even with relationships in the workplace, I usually have an explosive start, using my travel stories as an icebreaker, then after that for some reason I become the guy who's an expert in everything, because apparently if you tell someone you speak 4 languages then it must mean you can do everything.
And even then I always feel weird and inadequate. Because they will invite me to go clubbing, drinking, whatever, and all I want to do is go home and play videogames.

Couldn't be farther from it.
I don't even eat much pizza.

I don't see why people find it so hard to climb the ladder. Literally all you have to do us be honest, have integrity, always keep your supervisors in the loop with your work life and be at the right place at the right time.
>work as a private security contractor
I just show my worth.
I might have strong social anxiety which makes me almost socially retarded, but I can work 3x more efficiently than my coworkers.
Tho I got my shot of impressing somebody on my unpaying job practice which my school send me to.
i just rise to the occasion and deal with my anxiety and accept it. never had trouble getting a job.
This is the equivalent of Chad telling you "just b urself bro ;)"
You probably have inherent personality traits and behaviours that facilitate your job, just like Even if a sperglord came in early and was always honest, he'd probably garner a much different reaction.
You:
"omg, user is always so early, what a hardworker!"
"yeah, and he's so honest! What a catch!"
Sperglord:
"omg, did you see user, always coming in extra early and leaving after everyone? Does he have no life out of work?"
"I know, right? And he's incapable of common sense. When we told him to lie to the inspector he didn't he put the whole office in jeopardy, what an asshole"

Back home you go, robot
This desu. You start at the bottom and never get a single "thank you" but when you mess up, they'll be at your throat in 2 seconds, until you someday end up being the mean leader yourself.
You have the potential. Now meet it, son!
That's how all jobs work user.

>day shift people at hospital start taking more days off

Both jobs start requesting more hours. Starts to look like 50hrs a week restaurant plus 3 8hr morning hospital shifts a week
>start to juggle days off between jobs
>14 hour shifts at restaurant, ending at 12 midnight, have to be up for hospital by 530
Currently telling both jobs to fuck off

Better at least cure the far part then, senpai.
You didn't do anything wrong. Explain to them that they are part-time and the reason why the had the extra shifts in the first place was because these people were on vacation.
Then remind them that this is a professional workplace and that if they have concerns they should approach you in a respectful manner so you can discuss them together, and that any further disrespectful behavior will have to be delt with with disciplinary action. Then, if you can, try to meet them half-way with their scheduling needs so they know you are not just out to get them.
I'm also a manager, and no one will ever be completely happy with you, but you can command their respect by asserting yourself as their boss, but giving an effort to be fair.
Same
If Veeky Forums saw me on the street interacting with normal people they would call me a doughy unconfident beta male but most of what you said seems to apply to me
>Tfw I thought I was the office laidback coolguy/lonewolf up to that point
Why is it that you autists think that people will think you are cool if you sit around by yourself and act like an asocial recluse?
>lonewolf
there should never be a lonewolf in the office user
What the fuck did you do?
Stop roiding.
Could it be that your boss is a turd?
>If Veeky Forums saw me on the street
HAHA implying Veeky Forums goes outside
This looks legit fun
