Hired by a company who never really trained me and they are writing me up a month in

I took a job with a national organization less than 2 months ago. From day 1, I’ve received little to no training. I have over a decade of experience in my field. I’m not talking about career-related training. They never told me what the expectations of the department were. They spent less than 10 min showing me how to use their computer system. They never introduced me to the other staff members and didn’t tell anyone that I was working remote. This company has a 47% turnover rate in the first month of hire. Now I’m being written up for asking someone in another department questions related to our common job duties. What I asked are basic information questions that I would use to determine how I am going to proceed with my intervention.

I took a job with a national organization less than 2 months ago. From day 1, I’ve received little to no training. I have over a decade of experience in my field. I’m not talking about career-related training. They never told me what the expectations of the department were. They spent less than 10 min showing me how to use their computer system. They never introduced me to the other staff members and didn’t tell anyone that I was working remote. This company has a 47% turnover rate in the first month of hire. Now I’m being written up for asking someone in another department questions related to our common job duties. What I asked are basic information questions that I would use to determine how I am going to proceed with my intervention. Literally everyone in my field asks these questions to these people in the other department. It is standard. They also lied saying I did all these things I never did so that I would look bad. I brought up issues with the people in the department to the manager on site as soon as they arose. This manager has never seen my face. She has never heard my voice. She refused to ever meet me and now she wants me removed from the worksite for asking job-related questions. I’ve been informed that since I’m in the first 90 days, this is my only and final warning. It doesn’t matter that what they are accusing me of is wrong. Luckily, I accepted another full time job yesterday but it won’t start for a couple months. What would you do?
