I'm 22 years old. I have been a manager for two years now.
My store recently got robbed and me and three other of my co workers were there. The gun man pointed the gun at the three of use with a cash draw and demanded the money. I was in the back part of the store when I saw the gun. I had another co worker in the back with me and told him he needed to come with me with hands up "we are getting robbed" I couldnt believe it was happening.
My biggest fear in it all was my co worker and I would startle him and he would shoot at us or even shoot us. It happened really fast and it felt like a bad dream. And this isnt the first time I have been robbed at gunpoint. But I think since I never dealt with the previous robberys I think this one is fianlly taking a tol.
My work has provided a councelor to talk to and I have talked to her once. But its so hard talking to someone who cant really relate. I dont feel safe at night. I mostly work nights at my job. I have asked for opening shifts and my boss declined because her and the other manager get them, neither of them want to be closing that store.
I used to be a really good closing manager but since the robbery I have anxity, I jump everytime that door opens, I get scared really easily, I cant bring myself to go out at night by my self, and when Im leaving work I run to my car and jump in as fast as I can.
I hardly sleep anymore, I hardly eat. I keep reliving what happened every time I close my eyes. And I have talked to a few friends about it but none of them can relate and I feel like they dont care or want tto listen.
I need the job I cant afford not to be working right now. But how can I do my job when Im this scared.
I dread going to work. and I dont like not feeling safe.
