Too consider not coming back after bad day at work?

[mrlistersgelfbride]

I’ve started a new role in April.
I didn’t really want to have a new job, but in my previous role my contract ended and they did not have money to keep
me on (I’m grant funded).

I interviewed for and accepted a new job quickly.

It was in an area I was interested in however it is not very well paid, the commute is long.
We had a team meeting today and I was told off for letting a member of our group use something they were not supposed to.
I didn’t realise I had done anything wrong but the way I was told off was quite embarrassing.
I am 40 years old and it felt like getting scolded at school!
My supervisor was meant to meet me afterwards, she hasn’t approached me and literally no one I work with has spoken to me since the meeting at lunch.
I am probably sulking a bit although trying not to.
I had a few admin tasks to do today which I’ve done, I have no other work.

I’m still in my probation period. About to go home but dreading coming back in tomorrow.
I feel life is too short?

The manager that told you off publicly is really terrible at their job. In no way, does behaving that way foster a sense of teamwork, loyalty, and respect. Your manager has literally imploded their own credibility with one short-sighted and, frankly, immature response to an issue. She should have brought you aside, educated you, rather than make an example, and then speak with the other employee as well, without throwing you under the bus.

Given this manager could lack the experience, professionalism and maturity to make this sort of mistake, I would wager that he/she is deficient in a lot of areas, and you will probably see other symptoms of their lack of skillset in their job. For that reason, I would find another job at another company or another department that this manager is not affiliated with and give adequate notice. Failing to give notice, and merely just disappearing may have other negative unintended consequences you do not even foresee at this moment. Further, do NOT talk to anyone about the incident or badmouth the boss. Believe me, even if nobody has talked to you, all of your co-workers are recognizing the lack of professionalism exhibited by your manager, and do not see you as being the worst in the problem she highlighted.

I hate people who are in charge and expect new workers to know things they haven't been told, then get snappy when a mistake is made that could easily have been avoided with training.

I'd email the manager and say: Please can we arrange some more thorough training for me asap? I felt very uncomfortable being publicly told off for something I knew nothing about, that was obviously so important that it should have been explained in my induction. I don't want it to happen again.

If there are some friendly members of staff you could say to them - anything else I should know that wasn't covered at my indiction? I don't want to get into trouble again. You may find they are helpful or sympathetic.

But if the manager is generally bad at their job, yes leave. Life is way too short.

Work stress is a lot, if you aren’t happy and can leave then please just leave for your mental health

If you're still on probation then start looking for another job. I would keep going in though
