I started a new job on Tuesday and the receptionist training me said she wanted to “smack” the receptionist who quit.

For this job I had to go through an interview process (obviously), drug test, background check and wait for them to call me with a start date. It took about 2 weeks. I finally start 2 days ago and this receptionist has done nothing but bad mouth the previous receptionist. AND the receptionist prior to her… she said “she left on her lunch break and never came back. She lived across the street and I wanted to go smack her.” I was stunned. This is almost a 10 hour shift and it honestly seems stressful as fuck already. I don’t blame them for leaving!!!!!! I’m training until Saturday, getting my money’s worth and that’s it. I’m honestly so pissed. I’ve been up since 2:30am with anxiety (it’s almost 5am. I live in the south in the US.) and I can’t go back to sleep. Can I/should I contact HR about…

Can I/should I contact HR about this when I leave?

(ETA- I’m going to reply to y’all later this evening. I’m going to try and sleep and then get through the work day.)
