How would you handle this?
I am a contract employee. I’ve started a new assignment for a large health system in the NW. I’ve spent a few days with a trainer and I’m totally taken aback by inappropriate off topic things this person has decided to tell me. I don’t know this person. The employer mentioned they can’t keep anyone and I’m wondering if this person could be why or at least part of the issue. They continually bring up their lifestyle and sexual orientation. They even made a comment on how they are all that certain political affiliations have a problem with. This was all brought up day one of training. I didn’t know what to say. I just find it super uncomfortable. It’s not like we were at lunch, after a month of working together. Has anyone been in this situation and what did you do? It’s highly unprofessional in my opinion.
