I'm on the verge of being fired from my job...
🕑 Added 2021-09-26 05:59:11 +0000 UTCAn update about my new painting job.
These past 2 weeks have been rough and tiring and I thought I was doing alright for a part timer only working 5 hours a day 4 days a week at my new painting job, but apparently I'm way too slow for my boss that he hired 2 new guys to work that are way faster than me, presumably will work the full day and 5-6 days, and is thinking of letting me go... I thought things were chill between us and he seemed like a very nice guy, but I guess not. It would explain why I haven't been called to work for the last 2 days.
I'm only learning about this now because my mom told me I needed to work faster, who was told by my brother, who was told by his wife, who is friends with my boss and is apparently complaining to all this time, it's confusing I know... I don't work along side with my boss, he sometimes comes by to check on the progress on the house and asks how I'm doing, but if he had told me directly that I needed to pick up the pace, I would have made to effort, but he instead told my family, I even told him before all this that anything related to work to talk to me about it and not my family because my family doesn't know what's happening at work. I'm not one to talk because I'm not an accomplished adult with much, but it does irks me that he didn't talk directly to me about his problems towards me. We're both adults here, if you have a problem with me, talk directly to me about it, don't do talking to someone else about your problems about me.
My family is now being a bit more hostile and unfriendly towards me that I'm not doing a good job at work instead of helping or supporting me in my situation, even though I was not aware, and is even threatening to reduce the internet if I don't work fast enough and help my mom pay half the rent each month now that I'm the only one living with her. I was forced into taking this job by my brother much like his construction job because I didn't know my mom's arm has been broken for some time and needs surgery soon and will need to take a break from work to recover, I know I'm confused too wondering why they never told me about this either... I've already sent out resumes to find a different job in case I do get fired from this painting job but I haven't heard back from any of them yet.
It's only been 2 weeks, the job requires me to bend low constantly which hurts my already bad back, so I'm pretty much drained for the day and all I want to do is crash and recover for the next day, which is why I haven't been able to drawing anything recently. It's been super hard for me both physically and mentally makes me feel down.
Realistically if I can make $700 a month for rent, I'd be OK. If I can work by making money off my artwork, it would be great, but I don't see that happening anytime soon unless I see that support right now...
All I can really do is put up with it until they cut the string and hope for the best with everything else.
