Questions: Education & Career

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 am writing a book with 365 pieces of advice and after 4 days, I’ve completed my list of pointers. I want to rest before I flesh my tips down into sentences and paragraphs.
