No advantages

I was really set up to fail by the interviewer.

I had worked in on-site event rentals before,

but only as an assistant.

The position I applied for was video assistant engineer.

I had no prior experience with camera aperture technology,

but the interviewer told the other colleagues

that I had relevant experience,

and then held me to extremely strict standards.

They clearly said the training period would be three weeks,

but I had only handled the control room a few times.

It's inevitable that new hires make mistakes,

but

I seemed to have very little room to make up for them.

I was written off.

After three weeks,

they hired a woman.

She started with Era,

while I initially began with the complicated training at Next TV.

The difference was truly significant.

I was labeled as someone who couldn't learn.

There was hardly any time to practice,

and each senior colleague taught things differently.

There was also a generation gap.

They even blamed new hires for not asking enough questions,

asking why we didn't ask more.

But I was not good with cameras to begin with,

and I didn't really understand the terminology either.

So when I asked questions,

the veteran staff would say they couldn't understand what I was asking.

In the end, I stopped asking questions altogether.

I could only ask colleagues around my age,

but then the older generation said I didn't ask questions.

I was speechless.

In the end, I told my supervisor

that I had failed the probationary period.

I also felt that resigning was actually a relief.

The work atmosphere was extremely poor.
