Hi! I've been around these parts two or three times. I'm three weeks into managing on my own (after training for about a couple months), and I'm... struggling. Mostly with being able to take criticism without breaking into tears.

So the manager I have now, I describe him as someone who feels extremely. When he's happy, he's happy - when he's not feeling so great, it goes downhill fast.

I opened this morning - maybe my second or third time overall, very first time by myself.

I royally messed up. Didn't have dough up - only things I did have were cross-stack, inside of makeline filled and set up, etc.; we were slammed with orders (reaching a 22 min OTD). And he told me that it was essentially unacceptable. Which I can acknowledge and accept.

But what I can't accept is him being like "you didn't do shit" or him acting more pissed off than he seems to be. It genuinely triggers my anxiety, and it just sends me into an emotional fit where I feel like a massive fuckup.

I'm tired of being the only one doing things wrong to the degree I am. I'm also tired of being told all these things I did wrong in this aggressive tone and then being told on the same token to "don't take it personal" and "you just need time to improve".

What do I do anymore?
