Document Summary

Last summer i worked for a party rental company as an administrative assistant. When i was hired, i was assured that there would be someone in the office with me at all times and that i would be trained by the former administrative assistant for the first week. On my first day, it was made clear by the former administrative assistant that she did not like me. She sent me to get her lunch and displayed anger when i didn t do things exactly the way she did (i. e. folding documents for customers). I tried to ignore it, as i knew she would no longer be around the next week, however it introduced stress and i had anxiety before going into work that whole week. After the first week, i found myself alone in the office the majority of the time and had trouble with questions from customers and other administrative duties i was not informed of.
