Hello everyone,
I work at a grocery store and I have been dealing with a coworker who has been causing problems. Off and on she has told the store manager that I have an attitude. Each time I was called into his office I told him that I didn't recall having one. One day while working there last summer, I asked another coworker who was having a medical struggles if I could pray over him and he accepted. The first coworker that I mentioned was also in the room ,but she seemed to be on her phone and not paying attention. Days later when I came into the store's manager's office to talk to him about something, he told me that my coworker was uncomfortable with me praying over another coworker in front on her. I explained that we were all off the clock on our lunch and that I was trying to help. I also told him that the coworker said nothing to me and that she didn't seem to be paying any attention. I also apologized if o had made her feel uncomfortable. I later talked to the coworker and told her that if do anything to make you feel uncomfortable or upsets you then you can let me know that I'm open to hear about it. She replied "nah, I'm just trying to keep you on your toes." I told the store manager about this. He had the three of us meet and he asked her if she really said that to me. Without saying anything she gave me a smile as if she was about to laugh and shook her head "no". Her and the store manager acted like buddies or family after this. Seeing this I saw that he had favor with her when he used to have more favor with me or he just didn't want to get caught up in this drama, so chose to play it off and stay out of it. It was all strange since I felt God warning me that it wasn't the right time to pray over that other coworker in the first place.
A year later, I'm working back at the same store for a summer and both coworkers are still working there. The other coworker is still having medical struggles and I could hear him telling customers about how bad his daily suffering is. While in the break room, I felt God call me to pray for him, but I told Him that I would after using the restroom. I come back a few minutes later to see that the coworker who was causing trouble last year had come into the room. I felt God telling me not to pray over him at the moment ,but I told God that I honestly wasn't afraid of her. So, I prayed over the coworker anyway. It was like deja vu, she was on her phone again and everything. After work , it was all coming back to me again about what happened last summer and I began to get filled with anxiety about my job. I have yet to go back to work yet and to know if she is causing trouble again.
Around the time that this is happening , I'm seeing that God may be calling me to transfer stores. I have been thinking about it, my aunt has suggested it, and so did a stranger. I ended up working at thar store for a day and two managers asked if I would like to work there. At first I left my answer open, because I wasn't sure if I should until that stranger and that anxiety I have about my job and that coworker came up, also considering the other events that occurred that I mentioned.
Yesterday while shopping at that other store, I asked a cashier about transferring ,which he ended up sending me to the front desk where the manager's whom I worked with best friend is the one who took down my information. I also told the two managers that I'm only working for the summer due to school. So, now I'm praying about all of this. Thank God and thank you all for your prayers and responses.
