Can we all finally admit that your location/role contributes highly to how your program is going to go? I’m SO tired the narrative that things are what you make of it. If something sucks, it sucks. There’s only so much you can do.

Yeah it really depends on what role you get and who you are as a person everyone thrives in different environments and it’s very much like a job your coworkers and manager could also very much make or break your experience which I don’t think people understand how much it’s like any other job

yes, as someone who went through 2 programs, i completely agree with you.

Anonymous 26w

honestly, i lowkey agree with this. like, i’ll completely be honest with yall and say that if i didn’t get transferred from my original role to the role that i’m in now (all i will say without revealing my old location is that I had went from speciality F&B to F&B/QSR but still stayed in MK), i probably wouldn’t of had extended and probably would of had termed early because of how much i absolutely hated my original location. for the first month and a half of my program, i just genuinely didn’t

i would say its also equally location and the possibly shitty managers you get stuck with

My best friend wanted to like her program SO bad but she literally hated her location (parking) so much she wanted to term. She said the only reason she didn’t is because she loved disney so much. I felt awful :(

You’re not wrong that was my roommate on my last program’s dream role and she got. She ended up hating it.

love my location and kind of had a feeling that it was what i was going to be ending up with since i made the dumb mistake of putting it on my resume and for most of my interview (this is my first program and i’m planning on coming back for another program and then going pt/ft), my interviewer was asking me if i would be okay with being placed in this location and i had said yes, absolutely, no problem because i genuinely felt like that if i had said no, that i probably wouldn’t of gotten

accepted. but once i got transferred to my new location, i instantly had felt much more supported and felt like that i was genuinely meant to be in my current department more then i was in my former role because the leadership/coords in my location genuinely want you to be successful even though it gets hard sometimes and there has been times where i have had bad days/broke down on stage before or have been stressed but at the end of the day, i am sad that my program is coming to a end but so

I literally cried to my leader like full on sobbed and had a panic attack because of how unhappy I am with my role and how miserable I am and he just told me to remember it’s temporary and that I should just try to be more magical I literally begged this man for a way to move roles for help for something anything and that’s all he said so now I’m packing and selling stuff because I’m terming.

omg girlie… i’m SO sorry but if you are in the merch location that i think you are, i give literally the upmost amount of respect even if you are terming because from what i hear, i know that some locations like the leadership can be ABSOLUTE HELL (aka my former location before i was transferred) but i feel like that if you have like a medical accommodation or anything of the sorts, i would of had to try and do that (IF YOU DONT HAVE MEDICAL ACCOMMODATIONS OR A SERVICE ANIMAL, I DONT NOT

RECOMMEND FAKING MEDICAL ACCOMMODATIONS FOR WORK ‼️) but sometimes, if it’s like really bad to the point of having to self term, then that’s just a sign that shows you maybe there’s another opportunity for you in the future but it’s just not the right time. (you also don’t have to reveal your location but if it’s WOD… all my love and respect go out to you 🤍)

This is my second program and I adored my first and I loved it so much to the point where I felt the need to come back but this is not it.

Omg me!!! I have tried everything under the sun. The classes, the networking events, picking up different locations, the damn therapy services flamingo offers. This is actually my second program and I loved my last one so much and had the most amazing time. But there’s just something about this one that is not sitting well with me. I’m trying so hard to love it and enjoy it and pushing myself but I simply cannot.

It’s so nice talking about this anonymously because if you say anything about being remotely unhappy in the Facebook groups, they come for your neck. If you even think about not having a good time, they all berate you and tell you to be grateful.

What is your role if you don’t mind me asking?
