To start they haven't paid me in a month and a half since I started. I've asked 3 people about it and they JUST told me it's because I need to submit an invoice. I was somehow supposed to intuit that.
The person “training” me refuses to answer questions and did a big performative act to shame me in front of the executive director Monday about how I shouldn't be asking questions. I never ask questions unless it's absolutely necessary but she asked me if I had any questions so I asked a few!
My contract is for 5 hours a week (I know it doesn't sound like much but I'm disabled) but I end up working 10-15 hours every week and only getting (theoretically) paid for 5. Even that is nowhere near enough time to get everything done so I always look bad. Now they've decided they want me to come into the “office” which is just an art gallery with a table and a folding chair that my back can't tolerate, to do my work, and they've signed me up for an app that tracks my productivity by the minute.
The person who trained me told me yesterday about a client who is expecting a large proposal (something I still don't know how to do) in Jan that just slipped her mind. She just never thought to tell me about it or to write it down ANYWHERE. Then she emailed them with my info and I might be hearing from them at any minute!
I know jobs are stressful, but I'm starting to think this isn't worth it. I just don't want to be a quitter. I was so excited about this position. Now I'm stressed all the time and having nightmares.
