I'm in a difficult situation with work and I'd love some opinions on it. Sorry if this is long.
I was a SAHM for 10+ years.
I began looking for a job a couple of years ago and had some interviews.
I ended up on a panel (not UK based so not sure if it's a similar system) for a public sector job as clerical staff in a hospital and I was recently placed in a part time position.
I was delighted and enthusiastic to return to the work place. However it has been extremely difficult. I was originally placed in a dept with another clerical worker of a higher grade, who I believe is my line manager but this was never clearly expressed. I asked for a job description but apart from a brief verbal explanation I didn't receive one. I didn't receive any proper training and no computer access or email was set up for me for over 2 weeks. I was just getting settled there when I was re-deployed to another dept. And it has been awful. No one knew I was coming when I turned up. There was no real plan of what I was to do, or where I was to do it.
I needed different system access which after several weeks has not been sorted.
There are issues which I am not privvy to regarding which dept I am actually supposed to be working for and I am being told to do different things by different people. I have changed my working hours several times to be flexible where needed but I am very stressed.
I feel stupid and out of my depth. There was no training given or any sort of handover of the work I am supposed to do so I don't know how to do a lot of what is expected. When I've tried to explain this I am met with the response that we are in a crisis situation and we just have to get on with it.
I don't think I can cope with much more but will it be a bad move career wise to leave a job after just a few months?
I really feel lost and stressed and also quite angry with the with the situation I'm in.
Does anyone have any thoughts or advice?
Thanks
