Almost no one manages you in this position, but that’s also what sucks about it.

There is a supervisor, but they won’t really offer any advice. They only say that things need to be changed. After I joined, no one taught me anything; I had to rely entirely on my own efforts.

Whenever there’s a vacancy in one position, they’ll call someone from another position over to fill it. Don’t assume that the job you applied for is the job you’ll actually be doing!
If you happen not to know how to do the work for the position you’re assigned to fill, will anyone teach you?
Yes, in theory, they will. During the interview, the chairman made it sound like everything would be very well organized and comprehensive. But in reality, the situation I encountered was that the supervisor of another department needed someone who could hit the ground running. The software I knew how to use was different from what they used, and the next day I was fired under another pretext...... The point is, I wasn’t even applying for that position in the first place......

The pay isn’t high. Maybe things will be easier if you get familiar with the supervisors (?

They’ll take ten minutes of your time.

Later, when I interviewed for other similar positions, I was asked about my output here. I answered honestly, and was immediately told: “Why did you have to do so much in the first place???”
I laughed. I didn’t know what I was supposed to be doing back then either; I just threw myself into the work.
