‘They left me all alone’: New hire abandoned during rush hour, then gets blamed by management for low sales

Being the newest employee is never easy. There is so much to learn and you constantly feel like you have to prove yourself with every step you take. The one thing that can make that experience a little bit more tolerable is the people you work with and the way they help you settle in. If those people are not there for you the way they should be, it makes the onboarding a lot more difficult.

The employee in this Reddit story did not have the easy onboarding he wished for. Two weeks into the job, he was left alone in the store during rush hour (on Super Boal Sunday!). He tried his best to handle the situation and even thought he did a pretty good job. That's when a chain of complaints came all the way from the store's owners and landed on the new hire, who wasn't even supposed to be left alone.
