Started last week at my new job as photographer. I had to get used to it since they use a different camera and shooting-techniques. I already explained on my first day I am a bit shy/quiet because I had to get used to it. Which they said to understand. Apparently just one week later they didn't care about it anymore and fired me for being too quiet and not fitting in the team enough. You know what bothers me the most? They informed every colleague of me about it, but still decided to wait to tell me on the last minute (5 minutes before the studio closes) plus still having me to commute 4 hours (2 hours train there and 2 hours train back) for an introduction-training (which every new employee needs to attend) at another studio of the company. Only to end up being for nothing. Even though its a small team at our location. It's not okay to talk behind the persons back about that kind of stuff when they also preach about “blindly trusting each other”.
This is more like a venting post. But i just feel betrayed. I finally thought to escape an toxic workplace when i left my 3,5-year old boring supermarketjob and applied here. I had hope to finally have a job which fitted my passions for photography. But even that is apparently too much to ask for these times.
