Teh New Job
Mar. 1st, 2006 07:09 pmIt sucks, well at least the training sucks.
Be prepared for much whining
There are about 13 of us, stuck in this little training room because the big room is being used by a different training session. I and one other person are the only older ones there, the rest are young smart asses. Because I was stuck way back in the corner, I kept missing information, it did not help that people were having their own conversations amongst themselves. I finally had to ask that only one person talk at a time. The trainer offered to move my seat (but then I lose the computer, there weren't even enough of them to go around). The trainer began to get control of the group better but not good enough. The head trainer had to come in and chew everyone out since her office wall backs up the training room and she did not like what she was hearing.
Because I am in the corner, I am missing quite a bit of the directions for going from screen to screen. Overhead would be nice.
How cheap is the company? We were given all these handouts and told to buy our own binder and put the handouts in that. They didn't even use 3 hold punched paper.
You can only have water in the training room, something half of them ignore and bring juice and soda in (along with candy). I am sitting next to a smoker so I want to barf half the time. They hired a husband and wife team (he must need glasses since he squints when he has to read outloud), she is 6 months pregnant. Why would you hire someone that preggers? There are a couple of complete assholes including one rabid Republican. Hello, boys and girls, you aren't making enough to be a R and you sure as hell are not making enough to support a family. One of the assholes proceeded to tell me I would get killed if I lived on Hawaii, that I wouldn't be able to deal. His point of reference, he was a Navy brat. I should have told him that the locals just didn't like him not while people. He claims to have been a case manager at a mental health clinic and this is where he is working. I think they need to check some of the apps.
Off to dig up the 3 hole punch so I can provide my own notebook and training materials (not even a pad of paper!).
