Hello
My partner recently started a new job in retail. He was really enjoying it at first and was told he would pass his probation but then he made a mistake as he hadn't been trained properly. He was contacted by a senior manager for the mistake he made and he explained he was not trained properly. After this, his boss turned on him and the boss has made all the others in the team turn on him too. The boss will now not respond to his texts and messages if he has a query and he feels so isolated now.
He spoke about this to an autism support service who told him he was being rude standing up to his boss and now he feels even worse and actually suicidal.
My partner is awaiting an autism diagnosis and did not disclose this to his employer, he feels so lost now as he has been in so many jobs and let go and he feels bullied and picked on. He's been desperate to find remote work but no one responds.
Apologies for the rant, but if anyone has any advice on what he should do next it would be really appreciated.
We are at breaking point in our relationship too as I am finding it mentally exhausting but also love him too and he has no money and no where else to live.
I work in retail too i always feel like im too awkward to put mt side across and i have to really push my self when an if check is needed sometimes i withdraw and have to mask this withdrawl and put on a fake smile to customers and co workers
Im not 100 percebt i have autism but i think i do but it since being in retail i have noriced it as retsil is forcee social situations not ones i chose to do
I dont know if thks woule suit ylur partner but cleaning is a much more mindfull job with way less preseure i only swapped to retail as its way more pay
