I went into a new industry 2 months ago and found out I was pregnant a week before I started.
We were short staffed already so I got thrown in the deep end and made to “make do” of a shitty situation.
I was forced to lift heavy things, job was very high stress. Environment was incredibly toxic with all staff members turning on each other behind their backs.
I ended up miscarrying a couple weeks ago, and it last 3 weeks. Extremely traumatic and I ended up having to work through it, because no staff and even manager wasn’t turning up for work.
They Hired new girl while boss was away and expected me to train her when it was not a job even I knew remotely how to do yet, when I raised my concerns I was told to just deal with it, this was last week.
Unpaid overtime expected. Wanted you to take a laptop home and complete training in your own time, expected you to give the company all of your free time.
So today I walked into work with my keys and sent an email to the big bosses, and left. Probation periods are as much a trial for you, as it is for your employer. Most seem to think we’re grateful for ANY job, I’d rather eat shit
