My manager has never trained me, never sends emails, or documents anything. recently out of the blue he let me know he is dissatisfied with my work. It feels out of the blue and I was never trained and expectations were never expressed to me. He said he contacted HR and will share a plan with me to improve my performance then test me at the end (this is the first time he has ever even made time to train me).
For context, I am exempt and work for a provincial organization. I am also on probation (due to being new) which is over in a just few weeks.
I also know he doesnt really do his job. He gets more senior staff under him to do his job while he spends his time doing other things (pursuing university degrees etc). My suspicion is that he wants to hire one of his friends. He mentioned a few ago during a social event that for some reason many of his friends are unemployed.
Do you have any advice for me?
