I'm not a dickhead, get me out of here!

Today I was randomly selected to be interviewed by our HR manager at work. I dont know if I was actually randomly selected or I was "randomly selected" - if you get my drift. Either way I think she bit off much more than she could chew.

She 's been given the task of making sure our organisation doesn't fail the criterior set out in our people agreement. Unfortunately for them they signed up for a bit too much of the "we love our people, we train our people, we better our people" last time & consequently failed their last audit. Unfortunately this audit comes just weeks after they employed me & I have told them of my experiences.

It is really hard for me to say I have had enough training, when I haven't had any at all. Being thrown onto the phones without a clue what I'm doing isn't a training format I'm familiar with. It's also difficult to say I feel cared for since I have spoken less than 20 words to my manager since I arrived. She has spoken a fraction of that to me. I'm not even going to start on the "we better our people" section.

So I cant really see them doing well in this audit. I'm also interested in seeing just how confidential my interview was . I'm wondering if I'll have a job to go to tomorrow, or if I'll be amongst the throngs of Aussies leaving before christmas.

Three weeks ago I was up in the middle of the night bawling because I couldn't get a job. I remember saying "I just need a job. Any old shitty job". Now I have a shitty job & it aint that great. A case of be careful what you wish for.
