Always getting the job I did not want in retail.
While working in retail I always got the bottom of the barrel jobs like moving pallets and stocking in the early morning or working the second or third shift which was the straighten the store shelves. But did not get the change to use my other skills like price unit scanning, price changes. It was always the heavy jobs that no one would do even to the point of unloading the trucks in Big Lots for 3 months and a couple of times at Walmart. and at Big Lots you not only unloaded the truck then you stocked the shelves. At Target you had to bring the heavy pallets to the department and unload them then stock them. there were times I cold hardly walk out the door and all the way to my car then dig it out before i got home then shovel myself a place to park at 11:30 to 12:00 at night in the winter. when I was finished I took a OTC pain med and went to bed. My employers took no interest in that fact that i could do more than stock or straighten the shelves.

I would be vocal to the hiring mgr or hr about your interest in cross training and list the other skills you possess. I would mention that on the resume as well so its a convo starter

Bullying managers are wannabee managers. A true Manager inspires you to do your best and usually has a little college or a degree in mgmt. Take an inventory of your job skills, even the ones you don’t use and think about how you can use them somewhere else. Read the job ads and look for jobs that sound inspiring to you.
Looks like bullying managers are more common than not these days which is a shame but you and the other posters hung in there and gained lifelong skills strengths and wisdom you may not have gained otherwise Thankful the most high preserved your sanity As the saying goes we're always stronger than we think Congrats you're a survivor
Life is hard and will be until you die..As long as you're saved that's the main question. Don't complain, thank God you had/ have a job.
