Reply to comment by Kilrona in I work at a clothing store - Most of the time, the humans are worse by grrief

You bring up a great point, they do need me to provide them with my services, but that doesn't bring me too much relief as my coworkers can do just as good of a job (if not better) than I can. I always do my best to keep on their good side so they have no reason to dispose of me.

​

I do try to do research when I learn new things about my clients, but honestly, I enjoy sleeping peacefully at night, and my research typically makes me more frightened. I just listen to them carefully and mimic their behavior, and it seems to please them. Plus, my coworkers have been doing this much longer than I have, so I'm able to get tips from them.

​

Thank you for your insight!! I always appreciate any advice I can get.

I inferred from your writing that there was only the one established coworker. Did I misread? Are there more?

I work with my manager Daniel, as well as my coworker, Patrick. I have one other coworker who I haven't mentioned yet, as I feel he will require a bit of an explanation, but trust me, he is much better at this job than I am.

If they didn't need a third, they wouldn't have hired you. Give yourself time, patience, and experience. Right now you're the new girl, which carries its own sort of charm. Confidence and competence will come with time. Don't let them fray your nerves too badly, or you'll end up as nervous as Daniel.
