I'm slightly livid...
Ok, more than slightly...
My trainer told me(as I was getting off work) TONIGHT at nine thirty pm that I was starting my shift tomorrow night... nine pm to 7 am
I thought he was joking, but nope he was serious.
He put in for my computer clearance FRIDAY NIGHT and it came through today...
He's had three months to get my clearance, but like everything else he waited until the last moment.
I found out last week that he could have been signing me off to perform tasks as soon as I was finished with the test all along, but he didn't want to have to keep updating my progress and adding permissions as my clearance went up.
He couldn't be bothered to actually plan ahead so I might transition to full nights a little easier...
If he had put in for my complete clearance on Weds of last week, he could have had me start my nights tonight... I would have had the weeked to flip my nights...
Instead I have to flip my schedule overnight. Without having ever worked this shift...He was supposed to work my shift with me for at least two nights because what happens at night is NOTHING like the day shift... He's not working my shift with me...
I have no idea what exactly I'm supposed to be doing... I mean, I know the procedures .... But I don't know the work flow... I know days.. I know when contracts go out, when fed ex comes, when to do the route... I don't know any of these things for nights...
Sigh... I've been asking to work at least one overnight for a month... So I might learn the correct way to work the shift... but it didn't happen.... now I'm going in cold...
I'll adjust and make it through...
BUT
It makes me think less of my department.
It makes me think less of the company...
It makes me start to rethink the thought that this is the company I want to retire from...
Employers need to remember something...
Employees may be on a probationary period, but so are employers..
