Tell me you work in the united states.

Working conditions here may not be the same as countries that rely heavily on child labor, but the treatment of those who aren't in management in a "desireable" field is attrocious. Customer service is my field of choice. Poor choice right? I just want to help people without having to deal with bodily fluids and I guess that means I signed up to be a punching bag? And of course, its not just by customers but by bosses who will put you down and in the same breath say that your success is their success, and when it comes time for your review and raise they make it a point to make sure you do not progress. I very recently left a job I was offered, that I was over qualified for, because the training failed to cover a 3rd of company mandated daily tasks. When I brought this up to the trainer he argued with me. I spent the first week and a half outside of classroom training arguing with my trainer about whether or not it is reasonable to expect to come out of training being able to at least functionally perform my job. Of course I was reprimanded for not properly performing these daily tasks, and not properly following specific protocols; that I did not know exsisted until after I was reprimanded for it. I was told that not knowing how to do a fair chunk of my job was part of normal growing pains. I was told I was being unreasonable. I was told that role playing sales pitches was a higher priority. I was told to ask if I didnt know something. When I asked how I am supposed to know to ask for protocol and tasks that I am not aware of and was ignored. I am not typically a blunt person, I feel that often times bluntness can be taken as rude; and there is not much need for it in a work environment. I asked to have a meeting to discuss my concerns and laid out exactly what situations had caused the concern, my thoughts on how to improve, and my feelings about the situations. I was of course again dismissed and told I was being unreasonable, so I responded bluntly. I told him he is not good at his job if he is losing so much of his training class shortly after leaving classroom training, and that he is a fool to expect that 8 hours of role playing sales pitches is what is actually happening. I told him he needed to take a look at himself and his processes and that he wouldn't hear from me again because his behavior was creating a hostile work environment. I took screenshots of every message. I have contacted HR. Howdy neighbor bossman, have fun with that.
