[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two possibilities:

1. Your daughter is socially inept, not just quiet and introverted, and said upsetting things without even realizing it.

2. The person who told her this is a psychopath who enjoys inflicting emotional damage. They exist. And retail attracts really nasty, limited people.

3. Some combo of the two. People with neurodivergence and people with disabilities are easy targets of bullies.

OP, if the family is not in desperate need of this money, I suggest that she quit. There is nothing to be learned here. She's better off focusing on other things and finding another job.[/quote]

Another option is that OP's DD is a normal 18 year old, not "socially inept" but completely inexperienced in a workplace and doesn't yet know how the social side of work operates, especially with older colleagues, and the supervisor and other workers are, like many people in their 20s and early 30s (the age most likely to be working in a retail position) impatient and potentially unkind with a younger, inexperienced worker.[/quote]

PP you replied to. No. No normal person tells a normal teen that they're poison. Either they're nasty weirdos, or the teen has issues. I was a very shy teen worker in my day, and my older colleagues were lovely to me.

The teen needs to quit. It's traumatizing to be treated like this, and I don't think this is a situation where whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
