I worked at Goodwill on register for a few months this year and it was so bad for my health. I went home exhausted, was in burn out, would have frequent meltdowns and went into work with anxiety and my body was reacting to it all with sickness one thing after another. The customer service was draining but so was the environment and the expectations to fill. Also had a manager that threw fits and was horrible to all her employees and i feel pushed me out of my job just because I’m autistic.
I finally decided to leave.
Now I’m a housekeeper at a small hotel and I love it. It’s physical, but my work is all tasks I can complete, feel accomplished, and I get to work alone for the most part. Little to no guest interaction. And the manager is way better! Everyone is nice and this job has been such a blessing. I actually like my work and dont mind coming in each day, I also go home with energy and time to do my own things and live my life!
