I started an industrial maintenance job about two weeks ago. It's a field I've got the better part of a decade of experience in, so I was comfortable in the setting and with what I expected to be asked of me. The place was disorganized as hell though. No clearly defined responsibilities. Inventory was not labeled, in multiple places, and had no means of tracking quantity. Was given no training on the particular facility other than a basic tour and wasn't assigned to shadow or train with anyone in particular, just left to my own devices.
I punch out Wednesday and go home. 20 minutes later I get a phone call from the staffing agency they contracted me through and get told they don't want me back due to my “inability to stay on task”. What tasks? I had been given zero direction since I got there. Probably a good thing in the long run, though. Place was the wild west on safety and procedure.
