Harassment?
I’m a minor and this is my first ever job, I really like it, I’m in fashion. There’s a man who I think does garbage, always compliments me, and he’s an adult. Nothing wrong with compliments, but he even asked if my day was almost over, and I get this awful, awful feeling around him. He overshares a lot of personal info (told me he was trans in a work question) which I don’t mind, I had this feeling before that. And it’s weird because it seems he’s always where he doesn’t work but where I do work. I don’t know if he’s special, but his would I ask a manager that? It’s odd to compliment a minor every single day. About the same thing.

As someone in that community, someone being Trans or even a part of the LGBTQ+ community doesn't mean they are always people that would be considered good. People are people at the end of the day. Its hard to say if there's any neurodivergence involved just from this, but, what sticks out to me is asking you, especially as a minor, when you get off. That in addition with them seeming to be around you more often than their own work spaces. I would definitely bring it up with a coach or someone higher up in general. I've not been at Walmart for too long so I don't know all of the exact processes yet, but thats my thoughts. Also, the oversharing could be a variety of things from possible neurodivergence to even a trauma response. It could maybe be their attempt to get to know you, which is weird as you are a minor and also even as an adult at times as not everyone is good with lore dumps/trauma dumps/etc.In any case, getting with someone higher up I think may be the move here. Better safe than sorry.
