Expected to be mystic Meg?

So I started a new position in May for a small business in finance (mortgages), the financial service positions I’ve held previously were based in insurance so I made it clear from the get go that I would need training for me to be successful in the role, which initially I was told was totally fine! All went well for the first month, however the training I received was very minimal and I wasn’t given any form of detailed job description or expectation list when I joined. The last two months I have been belittled by my manager that I am not completing certain processes, even though I didn’t know they existed as they weren’t gone through in my training and when I tell him this, I’m told that I’m making excuses and I should already know this as it’s part of my job.

Any attempts I make to discuss my concerns are shot down and I am being made to feel like a bad worker, which I know that I am not.

I’m giving up and handing my notice today, I don’t get paid enough to put up with this treatment. I understand that he is trying to run a small business and that it is hard and stressful, however he failed to provide full training and when I have bought this up he has told me that I “should just know” all this stuff I have no experience in and have no real training in. I’m not a psychic but I am very fed up and can’t wait to move on, so peace I guess.
