I've been working at Panera Bread for about two and a half years now. In this short time I have been promotoed twice, once to be a Certified Trainer and once to be a Shift Supervisor. That being said and all...

...if you go to the welcome Sept. forum, above this one, you will see my introduction of myself from yesterday and the fact that I have been in serious relationships since the beginning of high school. I am now enrolled in college and really single for the first time. This is okay, and I know it's a result of my anxiety and that I need alone time anyways, but it's still very scary, and the circumstances of the end of the relationship are...icky.

Anyways, my ex-boyfriend (or whatever you want to call him) works there as well! I got him a job there last winter. I told my friend Josh, a fellow supervisor to politely not schedule us together, not because we will fight and carry on (we aren't mad at eachother at all, it's just that it's too hard). I don't know...it still sucks. A lot of my friends are from there and I really don't want to leave. He isn't going to leave either.

It just hurts?
Any comments?
Please?
In my first week of the program?

Thanks

Hey Kim, wow our stories are very similar no doubt. I knew a couple for a few years and he asked me to hire his wife and after a few weeks i did. She ended telling me she wanted to divorce him which she did. Later on she told me her feelings for me and i fell head over hills for her. after a great 8 months, she was fooling around with a guy 20 something years older than her that is loaded with money which was her ex-husbands best friend..lol so needless to say, we didn't last. So there I was working with her everyday for a year after all that. It was hard, really hard because of the bitterness and hurt but I did it. I'm no longer there, I chose to leave for other reasons. My advice is to tough it out some, it does get easier. At least you aren't face to face all day long as my situation was .. Somehow to me it seems easier for women to let go rather than men, she didn't seem to have a problem with that like i did.
I wish you the best and my advice is to not jump into a decision unless it get worse for you.
