If you don’t particularly like your co-workers, each and every day on the job can be a total bummer…and it can seem like there’s no escape!

The grocery store worker who wrote this story will only accept overtime hours from other departments at their store.

Check out what they had to say about this.

AITA because I only pick up overtime hours outside of my department?

“I work retail, in a grocery store. I’ve been there about a year.

There’s been some overtime available because sales are up. I only do OT if 1) I want to/need money and 2) I can pick up hours in a different department.

They have their reasons for this…

I can’t stand my “home department ” I don’t like my department manager or most of the people in the department, the job is boring, and it’s just bleh.

It’s not like I pick up overtime constantly just every once in a while I’ll go to the store manager and ask if they need help the next day. So usually I’ll help out in grocery and stock if I come in on my day off.

If the only department they need help in is deli (my department) then I don’t come in at all and keep my day off.

Well yesterday I came in and was stocking shelves. Store manager came up to me and asked if I’d mind going over to Deli, but said that it was up to me since I came in on my day off.

No, thanks!

I said “nah, I’d rather keep doing this”. He said ok and walked away.

Today I came in to work, my boss keeps making passive aggressive comments.

“We’re behind today because of a call in yesterday, and even though someone was already here they couldn’t come over and help” or “yea I guess some people don’t like this department so they didn’t want to give up stocking to help out” “I thought we were all a team but apparently not”.

Yes this is part of the reason I dislike her.

I know it’s not my fault they’re behind, but AITA for only coming in if I don’t have to work in my department and sticking by that?”

You can’t really blame them for not wanting to spend any more time with their co-workers…
