Am not getting trained properly in new job?

[Anonymous]

I started a new job two days ok. They have thrown me right in at the deep end. On my first day they kept leaving me alone to answer phone calls even though I didn’t know the protocol or script that is used. The two other women that were supposed to be in my department training me took their lunches at the same time and left me there. I then made a mistake with a customer & she one of the women had the cheek to pull me up on it. As if I was supposed to be a psychic and know all protocol without being trained.

In any other job I have been in, I have always been trained and eased into the job. Im feeling really overwhelmed now. It’s a great job so near to home & good pay but I feel like I am being took advantage of already. I turned down 3 other jobs because this one seemed great. The other two women just seem happy there is someone to dump the workload on.

What would you do? Stick it out, pull them up on it, or just walk away now? I feel coming into the busy period it will get worse.

I would pull them up on it

Tell the boss

Just quit seems like a toxic environment

I would say give it more time if you think you can get better at it on your own. When I got my first job I got trained good by my friendly colleagues. It was a good place to start. Sadly I had to leave for studies. After I finished, I applied for other jobs and I got one. But this one was very different to the first one and very similar to your case. I was mostly left alone to learn everything by myself because the employee that was working in my position before me got into a fight and got fired. It was tought the first month but then I got the hang of it. I believe you're able to do so as well but no pressure

Start by talking to the boss and give it more time. If that doesn't work you have to decide if you want to continue working there.

They shouldn't have thrown you into it like that. It doesn't speak well for the company.

Give it more time. You only just started there.

Sink or Swim approach…

What they are found is seeing how much you can handle and what comes natural. Are you in the interim period⁉️ Sometimes these places use it as criterion to hire full time. Sometimes, they train you in weaknesses and give you short time to prove long-term hire potentiality.
