I started a new job last week, I’ve been shadowing for 3 days then had the weekend off. I’d been told I was shadowing another member of staff on Monday morning and to arrange with him to meet, I’d text the other members to arrange previously and that had been fine. Sunday night I text the staff member but they didn’t have their work phone on so they didn’t receive it until the morning, they were really confused as they knew nothing about it and they weren’t starting until 10:15 and I’d been told 9am. They told me to ring the office so I phoned the most appropriate number stored out of the 150 in my new work phone!! No one picked up, because I was calling the wrong number, I was told to write a few numbers down in the mounds of paperwork I was given but at 8am trying to get 2 kids ready for school I couldn’t find them, I started to get pissed off that my kids were going to be late for school so decided to get them ready at the end of the day I’d tried to sort this the night before! Cutting a long story short I get back to the office to have smarmy comments shouted out aimed at me by one of the office staff. I was in an office full of people I didn’t know feeling so humiliated! I’ve never been spoken to by anyone like that in a job before or heard anyone speak like that to anyone else! Yesterday I was in no frame of mind to defend myself, I’m feeling depressed and suicidal due to the fact I have a hard time looking after a severely disabled child and my elderly grandfather although I still make the effort to get off my arse and work. The reason I took this job is to get certain qualifications I need for what I really want to do, I’ve actually de-moted myself from working in the field I was before. I didn’t know what to do yesterday, it was either shout back and look unprofessional or cry, so I sat there and cried. I wouldn’t want anyone else to ever feel like she made me feel yesterday. I’m thinking now do I just leave? My friend said she would have picked up her stuff and fucked off out of the door and never said a word!
