Got my first office job at a small start up company a couple of months ago, they knew I hadn’t done it before and promised decent training. There were no other staff members, just me in an office by myself. Instead, I was taught the very basics, nothing more and whenever I asked for help, management just took over and I ended up not learning anything. Boss worked from home most days when they could have been in the office teaching me all the things they said I should be taught to do. Whenever I asked for feedback I was told I was doing “fine”.
Boss was due to go on holiday and expected me to run everything by myself while they were gone. Whenever I expressed that I felt unprepared to it was dismissed as a lack of confidence, not knowledge.
Of course then when they go on holiday everything falls apart and his first day back he lets me go on the spot. I have never been fired before so it’s come as a huge shock. Now I have to go on job seekers allowance to help make rent until I find a new job. They’ve already started looking for my replacement and I’m seething. Am I wrong to feel this way?
