RE: Being ignorant about other people's jobs

in #work2 years ago

They did train me for the two positions I was occupying so far. The problem was that having sick employees in the middle of the season is quite bad, because you cannot find replacements, so they had to improvise and put me to do their job, even though I didn't know how. They didn't expect me to be perfect, and they were patient enough, but I still had to learn everything on the go. Sucked, but there wasn't much I or they could do about it. Glad to hear you found an employer willing to train you before asking you to do a job. There's a surprising amount of employers who just put you in position, with some on-the-go explanations of what to do, and then expect you to just do the job. I've been there, and it sucks.
