At the beginning of the office administration role, I was supposed to learn how to place orders. The job posting on the employment website said no experience was required, but after starting the job, I found that you basically could not learn anything because the trainer also had their own work to do. As far as I know, the trainer assigned to me was a relatively new employee, while the team leader and members of the same group had all been there much longer. Basically, whenever I asked them questions, they would respond sarcastically: “Don’t you know you’re not supposed to do it this way?” or “You’ve been here this long and still can’t tell what’s wrong?” The manager would speak to me directly and say that if I didn’t understand something, I should take the initiative to ask. However, when I asked work-related questions, the team members would give evasive answers. I really couldn’t see what I was supposed to learn there. Also, whenever materials or boards could not be found at the construction site, everyone would immediately start shifting responsibility. If they could not find the cause, they would say it was the new employee’s mistake. How is a team leader who shifts blame and is unwilling to guide new employees supposed to teach me new skills for breaking down orders?
This job is a real disaster. In addition, we had to write reflections every day. Since everyone worked in the same work area, this was neither necessary nor meaningful, yet they still made so many demands. I advise newcomers considering applying to think carefully before joining. As far as I know, after joining, unless the supervisor approves overtime, any unfinished work left after you have been busy for a while cannot actually be counted as overtime—you can only accept that it is your own fault.
