Ceasing new role after such a short time period.
Hi I am wondering if anyone can help me out with my situation.
Long story short I started a new job this week and have realised it’s for sure not me. It’s a lot more related to administrative duties than I had hoped and the training has been subpar and there’s pressure to just ‘learn on the go’ which would be fine if there wasn’t a million systems and software to learn how to use. I feel like it’s just an excuse not to have a better training/onboarding program. They’ve also been extremely disorganised with setting up software and logins etc that has meant my training has had issues and delays.
Anyway I am going to send an email to HR/the people and culture staff member (idk who would be better) over the weekend informing them I no longer want to continue the role. Are there any potential ramifications to this considering I’ve only been doing onboarding at the moment? In my contract it said if you were an employee of less than a year your notice period is 1 week but i have only been doing training and not any actual work so I’m wondering how relevant this would be and how they’d even enforce it considering I haven’t done any actual work nor would I be needed to train someone.
It’s a part time role if that makes a difference.
Thank you lovely people ✨
