I think I should leave

Last year I accepted a job as a charity shop manager.
Things really haven’t worked out as I expected. I was given a new assistant who has struggled with the job role, no matter how hard I have tried to train them and help them get into the job role , they just don’t seem to get it.
My manager has now turned around and said if I don’t manage them better all the problems they have caused will now be down to me! I can’t change a person!
I’m still on probation and I feel something fishy is going on, I feel as though I’m being pushed out and I have done nothing wrong.
I feel more anxious by the day and although I really enjoy my job and don’t think I can continue with the strange dynamic that seems to have developed recently.
I don’t feel I can go much longer than my probation as then I would have to give eight weeks notice to leave which would be too stressful.
Any thoughts?

Go back and explain and ask for support with the person who isn’t getting it. If it were me I’d be proving them wrong. Try not to get paranoid - do some research into how to help the colleague who isn’t learning.. ask for support.. protect yourself x

@Ilikewinter. You are absolutely right! Life is much too short for this shit!

Thanks for the replies, I have asked for support, I’m not going to get it. I have already mentioned that I don’t feel like a manager, as I’m being micro managed from above. There’s been many more issues with staff and volunteers, too many to mention, I’m at the butt of everything. I just get told I need to be more mentally resilient. More shit has cropped up this week.
I feel mentally and physically exhausted, I’m clearly not cut out for this. Sadly.
