This new hire began a new office job and thought that they'd be receiving some on-the-job training. Instead, they found themselves only with two short onboarding sessions. The two days' worth of company-values videos and tests. This continued, with no real work assigned to them and no practical instructions being given. They started trying to train themselves, searching around company files for procedure manuals. Their boss still told them to "work more" and to learn by doing.

New hire left abandoned with no training or assigned work—boss starts insisting they get more work done and "learn by doing"—they consider quitting: 'I told him that I didn't get any proper training'
