I was supposed to start working for a small company as a recruiter but was told I wasn’t a “right fit” after 3 days. I did the normal hours but didn’t stay late. I was even told one day I could leave at 4:45 so I just got the impression it was okay to leave around that time. I was not told how long to stay and how late to stay either. It was actually supposed to be a hybrid role and I made it clear in the interview I preferred to be remote and they said that was fine but they switched up on me and said they wanted me in the office for a least two weeks to get acclimated to the company. I was very upset about this but I was willing to keep an open mind so I went in the office the next two days. I had even started on some projects and created a whole new page for them on a college hiring platform so we could start hiring interns and was actually excited about doing the work but they told me that it didn’t “seem like I was into it”. They even fired the person that was supposed to train me for the same reasons so essentially there was no training structure, and I just worked with what I was given. The office was super small and cramped, smelled like cigarettes and no one wore a mask so the environment made me uncomfortable so I don’t know maybe it was a blessing in disguise. I understand there are certain expectations but I think if there was something wrong they could have told me and I would’ve corrected it like every other job I’ve had. I’ll be okay but really I think the company needed me more because now they have no recruiters to hire summer interns and there job postings have been up for months. I don’t know how they expect to work with interns tbh. One last thing worth mentioning is that I was visibly the only person of color and the person they fired was also a person of color. It’s so annoying because they say “no one wants to work these days” but people do wanna work, employers just aren’t willing to put in the effort to work with different kinds of people and give proper feedback
