I am currently going through some financial and self-esteem problems, and the people that I usually talk to about my concerns, aren’t always available for me to talk to when I need them. I feel alone, unable to reach out to anyone to help me during this trying time. I mean, I’ve always had self-esteem problems, but due to me getting very few hours at work and not being sure if I’m going to be able to find another job that will help me pay the bills, school, and other things, really is stressing me out and making me doubt myself like I haven’t done in a long time.  My hours have been severely cut due to me not being a “top performer” at the Walgreens store where I work, and the fact that the store got about 100 hours less than it did last year. I try my very hardest to exemplify the “excellent customer care” that they’ve thought us to put in the front of our minds when we interact with customers, but that doesn’t seem to be enough for my bosses; they require me to be more productive in order to be more worthy of the store’s hours. I don’t know what else to do:(. I don’t want to leave, I work with very sweet and caring individuals who have tried to help me out the best that they can, but they’re not the ones who control the schedule, so their affection and concern can only help me so much. It pains me to see that even though businesses are managed and staffed by humans, they are only looking out for themselves and the company that employs them. I mean, I understand that they’re working to support themselves and their families if they have families, but often times their loyalty seems it’s only for themselves and if they have to throw someone under the bus like they’re doing to me, then so be it. I am so tired of this:(.
