Redditor465728's journey

I recently started a new job at a warehouse, working the second shift, and I'm already feeling uncertain about whether I should stay or leave. I've only had a couple of shifts, but the environment has been quite stressful, primarily due to issues with a supervisor. To give you some background, I've been dealing with a lot of personal stress lately, including deferred university assignments that I need to tackle over the summer, and I'm also trying to spend time with my grandad, who has serious health issues. The job itself is straightforward—I'm responsible for replenishing shelves and handling click & collect orders, and the pay is decent. However, my experience has been marred by the supervisor's behavior. On my first shift, I was told to shadow a colleague and only assist when asked, but I was shouted at in front of others for not helping more. It felt like I was being blamed for following instructions. During training, I was corrected immediately after explanations, which made me feel like I was expected to know things before they were properly shown to me. On my second shift, things got even worse. The same supervisor was inconsistent with instructions and questioned my whereabouts during breaks, even asking if I had been to the toilet. There seemed to be a lack of flexibility regarding break times, which added to the feeling of being tightly controlled. At one point, the supervisor forgot to point out the fire exits, which was concerning. When I tried to clarify instructions, I was told there were communication issues and that I needed to repeat things back, which felt very controlling. I also noticed a pattern of being interrupted when I tried to explain anything. Overall, I'm feeling quite anxious before and during shifts, and it's starting to affect me significantly. While the job itself isn't difficult, the environment and supervision are making it very stressful. I'm now weighing the option of leaving after just a few shifts or sticking it out a bit longer to see if things improve. The pay is okay, and the work is easy, but I'm not sure if it's worth the stress, especially with my university work and family commitments.
