I hope this is the right sub for this.
Basically the job is a two day a week gig alongside my current job, same company. It's a huge jump and a completely different department and could lead on to an actually decent job, so I was pretty optimistic about work for once.
As it's a completely different department, think going manual labor to office, I don't have much experience of how the procedures etc work. I was approached by the department asking if I'd be interested in the role, so took it on to up my hours, as they seemed to have confidence in me.
The new department were really nice and welcoming, and really patient with me having zero clue. Unfortunately it's a really busy period of the year so I haven't had time for someone to go through things with me, so I spent a lot of the day figuring it out by myself. Lots of googling how to do things etc. Anyway my manager for this role gave me a task, that I thought I managed pretty well, despite having zero experience with it. An hour later my manager from my other department takes me into the office and chews me out for some small errors, and how its in their best interest for me to get this right so they don't have to deal with these specific tasks.
I apologised and left to edit things, which is extremely easily done. it didn't bother me much at first, but I'm really upset about it tonight. I wasn't shown how to use this software at all, and took initiative to try my best but got told off from a different department because I missed a couple of tiny details. It's just been an extremely chaotic day as loads of different departments seemed to dump things on me that actually aren't part of the department, this task included, because I don't have an office and was just out in the open on a shared pc which was ridiculous to navigate. I was so flooded with work that I didn't have time to get lunch and didn't eat until 6pm when I got home.
Is this normal for office type of work?
I won't be working that department until next Monday and I'm really worried I'm being more of a nuissance, I don't want to give up, but I don't want to go back and be taken advantage of either.
