Been at my job for 3+ years. My boss says my performance isn’t good enough because I can’t instantly recall obscure stuff he showed me once months ago, and because I don’t buy into his “let’s brainstorm impossible sales goals” meetings. He says that he can’t trust me to run things by myself when he’s on vacation. I’ve mabye called him a few times throughout his vacations, which I try not to do. I think it’s because I don’t know every little thing he does, every process. He gave me an ultimatum, either transfer to another store in a lower role with less pay, or stay in my current position and step up to his expectations. I’ve realized I’m not cut out for sales. What I really want is an office or creative job where I can work independently. The problem is, I haven’t been job hunting like I should. Should I stay and do just enough to keep my resume looking clean and then leave once I find something better? Take the demotion and transfer and try to reduce stress while I look?
Dont quit something if you dont have a fallback. Explore your passions off work and out preform his expectations so they beg you to stay then just go.
>>33647361Its sucks because all the shit I’m passionate about I can’t actualize into a job. I’m passionate about movies, figures, and art. No jobs that pay well for that plus I have no physical experience in any of these passions except for coffee
>>33647337how much less is the other position? Life alteringly lower?
Nah, quit that place if you're being disrespected. Before you leave, tell that manager faggot what you think of him and tell him you never respected him. It will keep bothering him long after you are gone.
>>33647478Assistant to Full time so pretty bad
>>33647471Sorry for the late response. I get that. I work a pretty similar job that makes me feel the same way. Be willing to talk about it with co workers but don't give up saftey and relaxation. Follow your passions during your free times and build that resume through all the different sources you can and start looking for something safer and something you enjoy. You wont always find the job of your dreams but you can find a better work environment and definitely away from sales.
Find something better and leave or travel on savings and find a new one.Unfortunately this kind of boomer or gen X boomer everything is for me mindset is a waste of oxygen.I made a company at least $10 Million in a few years and nothing was ever good enough.Worked for another company and same shit.Unfortunately if you deal with some of these people NOTHING you do will ever be good enough and they string you along with promises they never plan to meet.Move on OP I've had jobs where they don't treat you like a pack mule.I remember making a company $200k and I didn't even get some much as a coffee voucher so fuck em. Unless of course you like being used.
This is me 33648986Not sure how ID's work on /advexcuse the typos just came off 24 hours of awake time. Good luck OP bad bosses fucking suck.
>>33649020Thank you anon. I am not entirely blameless but it still stands that I am doing things I should be doing. What I’m not doing is chasing after sales and they don’t like that. I’m selling and trying to upsell when I can but I’m not going out to places, enticing people with crazy calls ect. I ask questions if I don’t know something and I typically cannot retain everything that is told to me. So if you tell me something a month ago and I rarely do that task, I’m likely not to remember it off the top of my head.
