Long story short....
Started this new job in a different city. Same field, but position is quite new and it's an upgrade from what I've done before. I was really excited as pay is amazing, office type of job so Monday-Friday.
Been told training would be on the job, so no initial induction/training. Okay. So I get there, get introduced to everyone, given some rules and norms (approx. 300/400 pages, boring and nothing to understand from them).
So that's how a week goes by... no one shows me anything, no one's willing to teach me anything or even tell me what are we doing & how. Eventually they gave me some basic random things to do, (after me asking around 20 times in 8 hrs if there's anything to do for me), which is stuff that the secretary also knows how to do.
Girls in the office speak a common language which I don't (foreign myself, but don't speak that language), and overall ignore me.
Oook. So a month goes by and I get really ill, forced to stay at home on antibiotics and all the rest. I go back today and I'm told to go home (they are aware that as I'm new to role I don't get sick pay, so I am not paid at all), as I am getting everyone sick (impossible, I have been under full treatment!!), and I HAVE TO go home.
Opinions on the whole story? Upset and disappointed...yeah I know I said long story short. Sorry.
