I’m currently retraining in a new industry, I’m not old but older than I would be if I was starting out. Anyway I sorted a placement myself with an amazing company.
But the boss I’m supposed to be shadowing doesn’t seem thrilled to have me there. He sits next to me but doesn’t tend to speak to me unless I initiate and said they didn’t even know they were supposed to be advising me ffs. I was told it was all sorted.
when I’m proactive and ask for things to do, he rustles things up occasionally and he seemed happy when I came in with his favourite coffee but I have to admit I’m disappointed!
he doesn’t offer to take me through anything or show me anything at all. I have to always ask. Anyway I’m in 2 more days this week then supposed to go home and come back next week but it’s going to be a lesson in endurance…I love the staff otherwise, they’ve been really encouraging and sweet. I can also see my myself enjoying the work otherwise.
