Career development 1mo
I am 72 years old and not able toretire. I hadca incidence recently where I started a position working from home in a company I had never heard of. I started training on January 12, very intense training, which was saw using five different systems. The training jumped all over the place. There was no consistency at all to it. We were off on MLK birthday so when we came back to work, we had an additional day of training tacked on. That was a total of two weeks. I work for a total of five days and then was terminated saying I did not catch on quick enough. Little did I know they have training every 2 weeks to onboard new nurses. I could not believe in 5 days with a preceptor and me asking questions with her answering half the question, I was terminated. D you think this is fair?

    Two weeks training is a large investment by the company. May be their needs did not grow as expected. When you work for a voice at the other end of... the phone, it is hard to develop a rapport. Hope you did some due diligence on the company on the company before accepting the job.
    In any case, you were not crazy about the way things were going. So better to cutoff early. Let it be their loss and a lesson for you. Do not let it get you down and continue your search. Good luck     more

    Welcome to the world of working from home. Fake or undercapitalized companies, work and then don't get paid, terrible support systems. Do your... research before committing! As for the way you were treated, welcome to the job environment of the USA!

    You Are Justified In Your Frustration, But Also Not Empathetic To Whatever Is Going On With The Employers Structure Of Training. There May Be An... Opportunity To Take This Issue Higher Up The Food Chain Provided There Is An Open Door Policy At The Location. Me? As Long As I Am Paid For My Time I Would Move On & Take A Lesson From That Experience. more

    Going through almost the same thing. Though on my side it's the training that keeps being extended. I'm feeling like it's not working for me. Bearing... in mind during training there are benefits am not entitled to and I don't know t what will be their next decision  more

    I’m really sorry you went through that. Being let go quickly, especially with rushed nconsistent training sounds frustrating. It really doesn’t seem... like you were given a fair chance.

    Experiences like that are part of why I shifted into a home-based business model. Clear and consistent training, but completely optional and done at your own pace, feel less overwhelming. I’ve really valued having more say over my time and how much I take on.

    If you’d ever curious to hear what it involves, I’m happy to share no pressure at all. Wishing you something much more supportive ahead.      more
