Rough time at New Job

[Patnono]

Pat,

Two things I thought of when I read your post:
1. No company seems to ever want to train employees anymore. The company I work for used to have a great training department that employees could utilize to work more productively. That department is now gone. Apparently, new hires are supposed to be experts in their jobs from the second they are hired. Also, there is no knowledge transfer here. When new employees are hired they take over jobs that no one trains them in at all. I guess companies just don't want to spend the money on training.

2. I wish we could transplant you into the little town I live by. Places are closing because they can't find decent workers. The Burger King here closed it's dining room because no one seems to want to work for them. The drive-thru is open, but the dining room is closed. They have Now Hiring posters stuck up all over their building. It's getting concerning. So not everywhere are jobs hard to come by. Some times the workers are hard to come by!!

Good luck with your situation. I think a lot of people are in the same boat as you when it comes to training. I'm afraid it's a sign of the times.

Thanks for your support, it seems that way? And I don't get it? Seems that customer service isn't important anymore? While I was watching the person training me she was upsetting the customers with talking too much, I've learned to Not do that. I don't want to go to the supervisor, she hasn't even come by to see how iits going? I just heard her say "Was I able to be Alone? I'm like I've only had about 3 hours of training. She has me off 3 days, I'll have to go back and try to recall what I've learned, I'm no spring chicken. I was thinking about mailing an anonymous letter to the main office maybe it will Help or Not? Anyway just mailed some resumes.

And the different people that so called trained me didn't have the same information?

In your posts it sounds like you had a total of 2 1/2 hours of training on a cashier job. The next day there was a teen that wanted you to work faster at that job.

Sounds like a cashier job at a high volume fast food place.

The duties might seem simple but can be demanding. I think this description explains what I mean.

Fast Food Cashiers are personable employees who collect payments from customers in a fast paced working environment. Typical resume samples for Fast Food Cashiers highlight tasks such as greeting customers, taking and delivering orders, assisting with food preparation, solving customer complaints, handling monetary transactions, and keeping the restaurant front area clean and well-stocked. The ideal candidate has excellent numeracy skills, is enthusiastic and self-motivated, and communicates effectively with all sorts of people. Education requirements are minimal, and most Fast Food Cashiers resumes mention a high school diploma.

I sympathize with you if that is the situation you are in. Complaining not likely to do you any good. You do have a choice. Quit or do the best you can and see how long you last.

Yea, it's not fast food, but the. Experience is about the same? I just mailed some resumes, for right now I guess I'll try and hang in there? Thanks for writing
