I'm not sure who is right in this situation, but I sure as heck don't think anyone should be made to feel the way I've been feeing lately at work-- is this normal?
I'm 22 and was recently hired at a company. My job responsibilities have drastically increased in the past 2 months and I am now doing a job I have zero experience in.
Yes, I make mistakes. I've learned tons but this is such a detail oriented job that I miss a few things here or there (let me say I was not hired to do this particular job but the company is short-staffed so I was promoted far beyond my qualifications)
My boss has referred to me as a "dumb sh*t", sat me down on numerous occasions to tell me I'm not doing a good job and constantly belittles me.
I admit, I've done some things incorrectly, but once they have been pointed out I make sure not to do them that way. I wasn't adequately trained for this position and certainly not hired to do it initially.
I don't think I'm hyper-sensitive, but I've cried on numerous occasions coming home because of the way I've been spoken to.
Is this normal? Is this okay in a business? Do people really act this way in "the real world?"
