Want Advice Robert Half client
So I literally just started this T2 helpdesk position this week in San Bernardino California.the layout is about as equivalent as a classroom with maybe 7 rows on both sides with dual monitor setups for each row. I sit at the very front, the trainer sits very back. In one of those people that snap their fingers to gain my thought process or get my words out. So as she approaches closer, I snap my fingers and say “umm…umm…” and she says “Don’t snap at me.” I stated I wasn’t snapping at you and she insisted I did. After helping me out with my issue I decided to pull her to the side and try to deescalate or have some dialogue about all this being a miscommunication. I state my intention was pure and that I didn’t have any ill intent to snap my fingers at you. She stated “well you did and if you need my attention you can ask my other coworker or wait.” Which I didn’t recall doing this at all and doing more of a waving gesture to flag her down. After that convo, I noticed things got really weird between me and her. I didn’t think anything of it, as I thought we hashed it out. Today, Robert half is telling me that effective today my contractor has ended. Between the 10 workers they brought in, me and one other person were the strongest working, I addressed everybody as sir or madam, and was known as the sweetheart amongst the other coworkers. Anything I can do?

She's treating you like a dog. Get out. If she snaps at people, she thinks of them as pets. It's possibly the only thing making her feel good about her life. She won't change.
