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?
Make sure you know what the responsibilities/duties are for your job, and get it in writing if possible. Don't let them pressure you to do extra, especially if it means you're having trouble doing your core duties. Don't let them pressure you into working off the clock.
At least that's why I quit working at a grocery store: they kept pushing me to do extra work that wouldn't fit in my regular shift.
