Welp, I went back and will be back until I find another job. Long story short, I had landed a great job as a first year paralegal in an office of 7 people. Everyone interviewed me before they hired me. I get married, I show up to work on the 2nd and the office manager who is training me, tells me during the course of the week of training that I am not allowed to ask any questions. (???) So, I just do my work, come in take my lunch and go home.... I'm pretty quiet by nature within a professional environment, and personally, I don't really share a whole lot about myself as I have always believed that when you work sometimes it is better to just keep to yourself. I had worked at a large corporate firm prior and saw the rumor mill that would happen to people when they'd get too personal at work.
Anyways, so I'm in this job a week, my work is great, the attorneys tell me that they think I"m doing excellent and the office manager pulls me aside and says, "You are so abrasive, so defensive when I speak to you" ( this came from me asking her a question and her throwing up her hand in my face and saying, "DON'T" and then walking off) So, me being the scorpio I am I called her on the carpet for it and said, "how do you expect me to learn if you don't allow me to ask questions?" So we had it out- that was Friday the 11th of March. We agreed after the meeting that we were starting over and that she would work on her communication style.
So on Thursday I get called in and she closes the door and says, "(Insert real name here), this just isn't going to work. I don't like you, you are too black adn white and here's your check, I'm so sorry"... I was like WTF? So I ask her some questions and she basically says, " You know, its just not a fit for me, and I have been here 16 years and I just am not going to like you."
So I'm back at the club until I find something else... ARRRRG.. I've never had this happen to me before..
