New job: Boss has me doing all the work and Work Atmosphere is weird
I am 8 days into a part time job. My new boss has me working really hard. I had a work appraisal today which didn't go well. A junior co-worker put in lots of lots of complaints that sound bad but are silly. There are lots of juniors here but the Supervisor has not trained them up or hired anyone with training. I like the others except one very loud, lazy woman who has been in the same junior role for 20 years and not learned any new skills. I have quite a bit of training so I have to do all the work.

Today, she moaned like a woman giving birth for 3-4 hours while getting the 19 year old to rub cream onto her back in the middle of the workplace. Then when nobody was looking started looking at photos while continuing to loudly moan. Herself and the boss have weird conversations at work about knickers and bitching about people I have never met. The boss said the bad atmosphere is due to me. I say nothing but I find the setup weird. Naturally, I don't want to be doing all the work.

How should I react to this situation?

questionmark?

Have you considered not drinking soo much and getting to know the difference between reality and fantasy?

This is the first permanent job I have had in 2 years. I have been a temporary worker all the time. I want to make this work but its a bit weird.

I just think that they are not giving me a chance to read the Standard Operating Practices and having me do the work while the boss and lazy co-worker have weird chats and make go on their phones. Then they watch everything I do while doing nothing themselves. Today, I was asked do I go on my phone at work when I don't and boss and co-worker are always on their phones. I just think its a double standard.

As in any situation where other people at work are doing things to bully and take advantage of you, keep a private notebook (not in your desk drawer, either) detailing the incidents that concern you... names, dates, times, what they said and did, what you said and did, how you felt about it.

Have you been asked to rub cream onto any co-worker so far?

I can't figure who is the problem here or who is controlling things: the Manager or the Junior Co-worker? What do you think?

I think it's not your concern to try to figure out who's controlling things when you are so new and the work environment is that toxic. You should go to your own manager and follow the chain of command; that's what would happen in a sane office with standard procedures.

Do you work on the set of a porn film? Get used to the moaning and cleaning up.

Can I come to work with you someday OP?

No offence to after hours, a great place for the craic, but OP if you want to be taken seriously, post in work and jobs.

OP if you too are up for the craic, then let the games begin, especially about the MILF having cream rubbed in by a 19 year old and moaning loudly. Please stick the job out some more and dish the dirt some more.

One gets more advice in After Hours. I will start keeping a notebook on what goes on as I will need to for talking to my manager in the future.

An appraisal? After 8 days?

You can tell someone learned no skills in 20 years?

Hahahaha

Keep on with the creative writing course op

8 days in, co-workers are making complaints about you, they've already done an appraisal and management are scrutinising your every move? You shouldn't even really be doing any real work for somewhere between 2 weeks and 3 months while you get yourself up to speed.

Either there's something really wrong with you (in which case they shouldn't have hired you), or it's just a completely fncked up place to work.

Just quit already.

jamesbere

Just burn the place down and be done with it
