Poor start to new job

I have started a new job at a previous employer. I worked there permanently and this year for few months ago as a temp. On my first day someone in the finance team sent me an email in the first hour to action some bills. I am currenly going through induction and training so need to read policies and procedures. As I have not yet had the training I don’t know how to do these bills. Then today another finance person came over with some bills and I said to speak to my manager as I was still training. The manager told him to leave it a few days then later on the same day he emailed with some different bills.

I’m so angry these people think just because I worked there before they can dump work on me straight away. The team are also mentioning new tasks to dump on me which were not discussed before or in the job description. I still need training and if it was a new person who never worked there before they would not treat them like this.

I’m starting to think now I shouldn’t have taken this job on. Is it best to just take my time? I think they don’t realise I am not a miracle worker. The company still has a burnout culture mentality even with new staff.

So you actually knew what you were signing up to?

I didn’t know as when I was temping I was working from home. Now I have to work full time in the office it is clear people are stressed.
