So my husband convinced me to come work with him. We work in the phlebotomy field. My hubs loves-LOVES his job. I, on the other hand, have some major red flag/concerns.
1.) we aren’t provided a lunch break. And we’re specifically told in orientation that “we don’t have to offer you a lunch break on our mobile team” 🤨 what?
2.) the person doing my training is leaving February 14th and isn’t really trying to train us. She’ll show us the basics and then be like “okay! Let’s go practice on real people!” I expressed last week that I wasn’t comfortable or ready to deal with real people yet and she said, “I’ll be there. You’ll be fine” 🤔 not how that works but fine. (Yes I also screwed up)
3.) my manager (who is also my husbands manager) hasn’t had maybe a 5 minute conversation with me. But told my husband he heard a rumor that I’m already thinking about quitting. (because we can’t email me or ask me directly apparently)
4.) my observation day was a shit show. Was only allowed to observe my teammates for about an hour to 1 1/2 hours. Was told I couldn’t be there without the manager who then left me to watch the team and did a phone interview? Okay so I really didn’t have anyone to ask questions to except my husband and he was busy working.
4.) (part 2) I had to wait around for over 4 hours just for the manager to show up at the home base and meet me, then take me to the site where the team was for the day.
5.) when we’re out we can’t door dash anything. So unless you absolutely love cold sandwiches, you starve.
I’m finding myself struggling to even get up and go to work. Why do companies still believe they can treat people like shit and it be justified?!
