| The other day she told me I was putting way too many crickets in the reptile enclosures. I put in like 10 and we are supposed to put around a dozen. Then she said that is the reason one of the chameleons died .-. (The chameleon came in sick when we got it) |
| Angels angels |
| Right now I am just going to do as I am told and let them handle the stuff I am not allowed to do anymore. See how much longer it takes them and what doesn't get done. Let them see I am not the issue. |

| Realistically, I just don't think some people want others there, was more my point. And will constantly bend and morph rules to try and make you miserable. |
| Versailles |
| Del, Well, she was whiny in general, too. I was too small to pick up a german shepherd safely and refused, suddenly it was passed off as "refusing work." Amongst other things. One time she snapped at me for "snarking" at her when I said, in a polite tone, "alright, I understand" to something she explained. |

| If thats truly how it is there, then I would start looking for a new position. Working in an environment where you have to constantly second guess yourself is stressful. Not good for the mental :) |
| Versailles |
| My prior internship I got "fired" from. Why? An older lady who was overseeing me and all of my daily activities dropped a can of treats on the floor. She looked really in pain when she bent over to pick them up, so I offered to help. She looked like I just screamed an insult at her... |
| Angels angels |
| Del But like I said there is always two workers and we do it all together. The main person I work with and do everything with is the Manager, which is the owners second in command |
| Escott Estate |
| Sometimes people will explain how to do something one way but actually complete the task another. We dont always completely verbalize our process. There might be some unspoken rules that are at play here that you can only see if you shadow the task. Im sure this is frustrating. |
| Angels angels |
| Wichypoo Yep. That is one of the main reasons I left my last job. I worked there for almost 6 years and did everything the same way all those years which is the way I was taught and told by the owner. Then suddenly everything I was doing was wrong. |
| SandWitch Arabians |
| I hate those kinds of Bosses. What's right one day, is wrong the next. |
| Angels angels |
| I mean two workers work every day and we do everything together. |
| Escott Estate |
| I would ask to shadow the owner or a coworker again for those tasks. Maybe a step in the task is escaping you and you don’t even realize it. |
| Transformers Acres |
| Witchypoo Well, the owner can't have it both ways. They can't train their employees one way, and do the same thing a different way. It's just gonna confuse, and piss off said workers. They get paid to do what they're trained to do. |
| Angels angels |
| Witchypoo The way I was trained is the way she says it is supposed to be done. I seriously don't understand |
| Angels angels |
| Del I think so but I don't know. She will say one thing one day then say it is wrong another day. I only do things the way I was told or shown to do but then it is wrong. |
| SandWitch Arabians |
| You're just a 'worker bee'. Do what you're told, regardless of how you were trained. |
| Escott Estate |
| Is the owner the type is person where they need to do things themselves in order for it to feel like it was done right? The issue could have nothing to do with you personally. Are there other workers there you could ask to see if there is something that you might be missing? |
