I'm a bit of an introvert and find it really hard to warm up to people at work. It seems like I only attract certain types of personalities. Any tips on how to be more charming and charismatic?

I find introverts charming and charismatic. I’m probably one of those personalities you seem to attract, so idk.

I'm a cashier. We just got a new manager, and she's making things really hard for us.

And when we ask her about it, she gets mad.

I'm worried that if I speak up, she'll make my life even harder. I don't want to lose my job because of this—do you guys have any advice?

I've emailed them with questions as I'll be re-locating to NL and it takes them 1-2 weeks to reply. Given all that's going on in the world, I'm worried they might fire me before I even start.

Have you ever been told off by an older attorney of color?
