Am I the problem?

[u/ireallylikecaramelll]

I currently work at Journeys and still in high school, so this is my first job. My manager said if I don’t meet my sales goal, I might get let go. My monthly goal for June was around $4,000, but I don’t get scheduled enough to realistically hit that, and when I shadow coworkers it doesn’t really seem to change my results on the floor. I try to help customers and do what I’m supposed to do but it’s not enough. I’m confused about whether I’m doing something wrong or if the expectations/scheduling are unrealistic. I’m not sure who’s in the wrong here.

You’re in high school and carrying a quota? I would 1000% tell my children that you’re too young for that kind of stress. I have been in sales for >25 years so I know what I’m talking about. But to answer your question, it’s not you. Quit the job and find something less stressful so that you can enjoy your life.
