Thank you everybody for replying.
My username, well yes, at times I wish I had someone to tell me things will be OK. I have never ever had this in my life, and whilst people say I'm strong minded, I've never ever had anyone to hug me and say it will be OK.
That's why I have called this tarot/psychic person, I have needed reassurance in my career. It is scary changing career, having a mortgage being single at an age when others are settled.
So yes, I think that's what makes me vulnerable.
There are no employment rights if you've worked there less than two years.
The sensible side of me says it makes no sense for them to lose my job- the post was three months vacant causing a lot of work for the manager. He also verbally said it will take 12 months to understand the job and he's reasonably happy with my progress although I didn't have as much experience as he thought. (He's a negative person and always has to say something!).
As for training, I have the qualifications and each case is specific. He doesn't like helping and he's the only person who can help and train.
I try and do a bit at home which really helps. Interesting, I find it easier to think at home than when I'm in work. Hes so controlling if I stop typing for one second hes all over me. I'm sure he watches me instead of working !!!
I have started taking notes and there's a senior manager who's aware he can be difficult.
I feel better typing this. I need to keep this positivity and control when I'm in work. I really feel different when he's in the building! Although to be fair, I don't feel completely confident in my ability yet.
