I just accepted a part-time job at a large grocery chain. I'm trans, so it's incredibly hard to get hired in even a slightly demanding job market. The 'labor shortage' (pay shortage) is so desperate right now that they hired me without even an interview. While I really need the money for trans-related healthcare and to pay for college, I'm autistic, so it's going to be really, really hard for me. Are there any steps I can take to reduce my suffering?
If you basically want to keep your head down and not get bothered too much, remember that the first few weeks are gonna be what your managers assume you are like and that perception will be hard to change.
Basically you want to put in a reasonable amount of effort, be fairly polite etc. But dont overdo it. You want a reputation as a decent worker who can broadly be left to their own devices. You don't want a reputation as a slacker cos they will keep an eye on you and you won't be able to slack off as much in future but you also don't want a reputation as someone who works really hard and fast cos then they will bung all the jobs they need doing on you.
