My 18 year old daughter has just started a summer job. She is paid per unit. The advertisement said training given.
On day one she did the allocated six units - the first had a helper/trainer. Her feedback for the day was that she had done brilliantly and there were two small improvements (which she understood). Day two she was given five units but asked if she wanted six but she didn't because the five took a long time to do and took her up to the allocated finish time. No feedback. Day three she was given four units but was told to redo two completely, which she did although was a bit at sea as to what was wrong with them as only two things were pointed out but she did as she was told. Day four she was given three units and told to redo them all! She asked for the errors to be pointed out to her so she could understand them and improve but was told they were too busy to show her - just redo them.
She wants to simply quit. It's only a summer job before Uni and she feels they are being unreasonable in not giving proper training and feedback so she can actually try and achieve.
On the assumption she is likely to be given two units next time, I am inclined to say she should ask for feedback after those two and if they do not give any but ask for them to be redone then hand in notice with an explanation as to why.
I fully understand this is probably not the right job or place for her so continuing is a waste of time but I sort if feel she should give it her best shot and not quit without reasonable explanation.
