I’m 23 and he’s 22, we’ve been together for about 10 months. He has this friend who he’s known for about a year I understand that ultimatums aren’t the best and might seem controlling, but with all due respect I feel like I am in the right to ask. His friend texts him to go over and drink with girls, hook up with them as well I know because i finally had enough of my boyfriends weird stories that didn’t add up. I didn’t have enough time to see if he actually went to see them but I know he’s gone over to his house a few times. My bf cheated on me physically 2 days before my birthday and it was his friend feeding him ideas to cheat which i understand my bf is 100% in charge of his actions. We ended up rekindling and it’s been going fine however the texts with his friend is him still inviting my bf to things. I don’t feel comfortable with him hanging out with his friend and my bf has told me I’m over reacting. I do love him and obviously took a chance to get back together knowing he could do it again but I feel like if he’s really sorry he would cut off the friend that gives him opportunities and ideas to cheat knowing we’re together. Also to add context to those saying the friend isn’t the one to blame he invites him over to fuck girls. Also for those of you that are saying I’m blaming the friend I’m not I 100% blame my ex bf but I can still blame the friend partially for him encouraging my ex to cheat on me.

I can’t lie I overslept, I called about 20 minutes after my shift started. The CEL said it’s still a point if I use sick time. Just warning yall.

I’ve worked at this store for 2-3 months. This is going to be a long rant without going that much into details that won’t pin this on who I am.

I started working and got along with most of my co workers. A week into being there I got invited out to the club where I basically paid for several drinks for us. Mind you I am transgender and fairly hot, that doesn’t matter to anyone but I feel like it’s important later on. The next shift a huge miss communication happens that involved an off duty co worker and a guy. Long story short I told one co worker something out of confidence and anxiety nothing serious and I didn’t see my coworker with him. That same day my co workers told me to get ready after work to go out again. I did and they ghosted me. A month later I get called into the office to get confronted by the co worker that was with her bf, she told me everyone is going around saying that I’m going around spreading rumors of something related to her man. Mind you I told her I said it only to one person and it wasn’t that serious. What I didn’t tell her is that same co worker I told was telling me all of the others personal business and called her “a dumb ass bitch” for staying. I didn’t say that to the girl because it’s not my business to tell her. Anyways that first month that passed the girl I told and her friend went around telling my co workers rumors about me in a very negative way, speaking how I’m trans to several of my co workers, I’m dirty, I don’t work, I’m lazy and that I don’t pick up after myself when helping clients. All lies by the way I have the highest metrics at work. That confrontation told the girl I’m sorry because in reality I am it wasn’t meant to be such a big deal and again I didn’t see them together. What I’m thinking is why don’t you go and ask those co workers that aren’t the two friends if I went and told them anything because guess what I didn’t. I even went and asked “ did I tell you anything negative about a co worker” they said no. They constantly bully me and harass me one even said “ who the fuck are you talking to” when I corrected her about our job duties. Anyways all of this and I’m dealing with severe health issues, I’m getting treatment for early leukemia I haven’t told anyone at work because it’s certainly not their business. All I can think of is what did I do? I’ve never been in a situation like this but what I can say and my personal friends have told me is that they’re jealous which I see now they definitely are. I haven’t talked about a co worker to anyone I work with, I go to work get huge amounts of gratis from brands for selling and the only thing I can think of is telling the second friend the day we hanged out that I didn’t want to hear her talk shit about a co worker that wasn’t there. Mind you she was talking about the trio in her friend group that they work with saying. “I don’t like her I like hanging out with yall because of you” and other stuff I can’t really remember that much bc I don’t really care. That’s the thing I’m like maybe they’re mad over that. Anyways several of my co workers have told me the shit they’re saying about me and to my managers. I feel like it rubbed off on my managers because I’m constantly getting picked on for shit my co workers do. Example I got a coaching for manipulating metrics by checking clients out and putting I helped them when I did. Like if I grab a fragrance for a client I put myself and they said I can’t. If I know I helped a client on the floor and put myself after the new hour and I’m on the register. Okay I stopped doing that but for reference that’s how I was trained by several co workers. But it’s not a big issue for them as I still see them doing that on the register. My managers get upset when I check my phone for a second thinking it’s my dr telling giving me an update. But my other co workers especially the two girls can be on their phones the entirety of the shift without a conversation it literally happens in my face. I reported them both to hr and gave a list of co workers that have told me they’re bullying me behind my back so far nothing has happened that I’m aware of besides them holding even more animosity towards me. My other co worker that I thought I was cool with invited me to go out I asked if anyone we work with was going to be there was assured it was just close friends outside of work. I go to the club and guess what it’s the second girl that talks about me the most with her friend. They look me and my friend down and ignore us. I left and even my friend mentioned how weird their behavior is. I really feel like that was a set up in such an offputting way by the co worker I assumed I was close ish with. And most recently a brand rep gave me several of a certain product she gives it to my AP and my AP comes to me and tells me hey this brand left you one item of gratis. I questioned it because the rep said she’d leave 3. The ap later says I’ll keep one you get one and the other girl gets one. The other girl being one of the girls that bullies me. I said oh that’s fine but I know she left me 3 so I expect to see that there. Where the AP gets into an attitude saying no they left us all one I said okay well I sold and she said 3. Anyways that was that and the next day I work I was told I’ve been monitored putting my name when Mobile checking clients out. 😭 safe to say I’m already finding a new job but Jesus Christ can i fucking breathe. They made working there so frustrating I stopped talking to all of my co workers and managers only to clients. And guess what I still get good surveys from customers.

My main questions are as followed.
-Would they get upset if I tell them I need Tuesday and Thursday’s off but can close from 5-10pm (I just enrolled into classes)
-what are the hours like? I haven’t gotten clear answer from my interviewers
- what is the pay like?
I work at a makeup store making 21 an hour from 15-29 hours a week. I’d like more hours at Apple but just wondering. Also it’s in a wealthy suburb in Houston. (Maybe that’ll give insight).
