This is me letting out my frustrations. I have a meeting with my boss in a hour, and I’m shaking. I am an entry level employee as a engineer designer for a contracting company. I’ve been here 6 months including training. I work remote, and was hired remote. They brought us in for training to start the job. They flew us in, paid per diem, hotel.

This is me letting out my frustrations. I have a meeting with my boss in a hour, and I’m shaking.

I am an entry level employee as a engineer designer for a contracting company. I’ve been here 6 months including training.

I work remote, and was hired remote. They brought us in for training to start the job. They flew us in, paid per diem, hotel. Just overall appeared to be a good gig.

Training lasted 5 weeks and then I went home. Last week I got an alarming email that my performance was below my peers and I would need to report to the office for the next 6 weeks to undergo re training.

I was in shock because I thought I was performing well. So I responded to the email and asked to set up a call with my boss. He then scheduled a call with him and 4 other team leads. Followed by a document with all my qualitative performance information.

Overall I was preforming at 80% and there expectations for employees was 85%-90%. I was in shock that my 5% difference required 6 weeks of commuting to the office with no compensation.

I’m truly so upset. I haven’t even been working for 6 months alone. This is my first job, how can I be preforming so close to their goal and be reprimanded on my own dime?

I need a new job.
