Hey all,
I got let go today from new job, which I had been in only a couple of weeks. I was mostly relieved as it was a very toxic environment, I worked alone with my office manager and she didn't like me from the start and I received little training on the systems I was to take over. She was very unapproachable, and I constantly had to ask questions on how things were to be done and made to feel stupid for even asking.
The reasons for my dismissal were failure to take reasonable instructions from manager and time management skills.
I then queried the time management thing and was told I was late a number of days and this was not in line with policy. That really pissed me off as I'm one of those annoying punctual people who arrive half hour early to everything, including work. I asked for CCTV proving this as I actually found it insulting.
Not sure what the point of this post is, need to rant as I'm so angry at how I was treated. I left a job I was in for 5.5 years and had fantastic colleagues for what I thought was a better opportunity with room for progressing and sadly I was very much mistaken.
My confidence has taken a massive hit. I have an email saved in my drafts for the appeals process(I wouldn't go back for diamonds but I want it noted how unprofessional her behaviour was and how unfairly I believe iv been treated) which I will send tomorrow, but because it was such a short employment wondering is it even worth the hassle?
