I feel like my coworkers don’t like me
I’m still fairly new, I’ve only been working (including training) since mid October, with no prior experience in food service or barista experience. However during my time here I feel like most my coworkers don’t like me or find me annoying. So i get scared to ask questions if I forget or am unsure and always feel the need to say sorry after so it doesn’t sound like I’m coming off demanding stuff either. I feel like they don’t like me either since I don’t have that much experience and therefore I’m a little slower, make more mistakes and sometimes don’t know what to do especially during peak. I’m usually scheduled during peak so i’m mostly on DTR or POS and have had very little bar time since starting. I try to let them know that if they need support, I’m always willing to help if I don’t have any one at the register, etc. However I feel like everyone gets along with each other but me. I’ve tried having conversations with some of my coworkers but it’s mainly just work related such as asking questions or asking each other when we get off, etc. Anytime I’ve tried starting a conversation with a coworker or tried having more fun open conversations such as asking about their personal lives outside of work, they usually just keep it short to where you can’t really continue the conversation and they just don’t seem like they want to talk so I usually just give up, that or I’ll try and make fun little comments and such and they just stare at me blankly. But I see how they interact with other coworkers even some of the newer ones and they are so much more enthusiastic , having full blown conversations and joking around all the time. Always greeting each other when they click in and out and just treat each other as if they’re friends vs just co workers. It makes me feel really defeated when I’ve put in effort to put myself out there and half the time I even try starting conversations or make comments, their reactions just make me regret ever speaking just wanting to never speak again or allow myself to open up to others. I just feel like they see me as someone who they don’t care to want to get to know, and also I feel a lot of times they look down on me and treat me like i’m a kid or just a newbie but not even in work related areas but also just everywhere else too… I went home crying today because my entire shift everyone was just talking and joking around and I was just at POS staring off into space, waiting for the next customer. I really like the job, I was just wishing for a more fun and supportive environment, atp I’m just hoping to push it through the 6 month mark and transfer. All my interactions with my coworkers just makes me want to give up and completely just shell myself up, but then it does affect my mood at work and how I present myself to customers. On top of that I’ve had more enthusiastic conversations with customers and a borrowed partner than I’ve had with my coworkers, and the only one time I’ve had any good conversation is when I was willing to switch shifts with them.
