Crazy crazy people!
I quit the job/formation yesterday. I did not fit at all to the profile they are looking for and I doubt many people do. I would become crazy if I stay with these people and I still do not know what I am supposed to do. My fellow workers have told me the first month is extremely hard with these people. As for me, 5 days is enough to run away from them.
What they call formation is more or less a painful adaptation to their methodoly. Here is a summary of my week:
1. they have developped a non existing vocabulary
2. They want you to learn their methodology and since it doesn’t exist and does not relate to anything real, it is very hard to assimilate.
3. You are not allowed to question their methods, you just apply
4. You are not allowed to have doubts, you execute orders.
5. There are words and sentences you cannot use in front of them and you do not know which ones. You just wait and get insults when you do.
5. Everything you do is wrong, stupid or useless if you do not apply their methods and they make sure you understand that. So they give you useless tasks to do and they do not look at the results, they look at how you apply their immaginary methodology.
Example of stupid things I had to do:
1. Read 80 pages of the boss’ book and write down a synthesis, what is shocking and questions
2. my direct superior had extra work for me in addition to the formation, so he gave me 8 pages of technical stuff to translate in 4 hours. It took me about 12 hours to finish and I had to do it at home.
3. Another 120 pages to read and apply to 2 exercises plus a synthesis in 4 hours.
4. Another translation in excel this time in 4 hours. Painfully long and complicated since I do not know the subject.
Anyway all is over! I asked other people around me and it seems that everyone had the same treatment. The bosses treat you like shit, put you in useless conditions of stress, and disregard any work you do for them as soon as it is not in the format they want. You cannot really assimilate strange words that do not relate to anything you’ve learned and you spend all your time asking yourself : what are they really looking for?
eh ben dis donc!!
