Pros
My customers were great and the job was ideally located
Cons
The manager always had “favorites” which typically would be no big deal because I’m an adult but I got called out and written up for things that a child would be scolded for. I was treated less like an optician of 30 years and more like a bullied high school kid. Employees constantly had their phones out and one girl even shopped daily at her work computer..like excessively. I was super careful and if I needed to check a message I would step into the lab out of sight of customers but because of ME our bully boss came up with phone “jail” so nobody could have their phones. I’m 50. I barely text. I mentioned to a patient one day that I take Zoloft..I was reprimanded and told not to tell patients that I take an antidepressant. The day I was fired, my manager and dm met me outside one morning with a box of my stuff and said I wasn’t needed anymore. They acted like they wanted to throw hands when I asked why. I literally went to work for an attorney later on just to educate myself on workplace laws. Unfortunately it was too late for me to sue. They were so cruel.
