Just quit my job

Post Reply New Topic

I still work at the cinema, as I have done for 3 and a half years, but I thought I could work in another job too. I got a job at Starbucks.

Because at Cineworld, I can multi task and I know the job inside and out, I thought I could do the same at starbucks - I thought that part of my aspergers had gone away.

But, I talk too much, I am too slow and I don't learn things fast enough. Aparently I started out really good, but it went down hill from there.

I always start out good, but I can't keep it up. I can't help it.

Also, I am too clumsy, and my fine motor skills are so bad that I can't operate most of the things. I can't do the whipped cream, for example.

When I handed in my notice, I lied because I didn't want my manager to think I was leaving because of him, because he was qite nice to me, even when he told me what my problems in the job were.

But I also take things to heart, and I hate that.

I feel like I have failed, because the only job I have ever kept for more than three month is the cinema. Though it has to be said that my managers at cineworld are very supportive.

But am I destined to go from job to job, never really settling in. I really want to make films, but you need money for that sort of thing, and it is so difficult to get into.

Congrats on seeing both sides of the coin.

I am so glad you still have your job at Cineworld.

Didn't this "Starbucks' experience" make you realize how appreciated you are at Cineworld?

Thumbs up to you for accepting that it was time to move on.

Also, the manager that pointed out your weaknesses has given you the chance (if humanly possible) to improve in these areas.

From the way you handle this experience you have been very loving and caring.

Keep on trying out new jobs and gradually you will save enough money to start your small business to live your dream of creating films.

your lucky you have aspergers awareness and can make allowances, personal ones to deal with your shortcomings, a lot of aspies, my self included used to drift from job to job without ralising why we kept failing....so your wining you have sef awareness.
