Kinja'd!!!

TLDR: Got hired for what would be a two week trial period, got laid off after two days, before I even had a chance to get settled in after receiving no instruction what so ever on how their system works despite asking for clarification, by people who don't even know how to use the software they hired me to use.

Got hired on for what was supposed to be a two week trial period for a drafting job, and they let me go after two days. I wont name the company for fear of some other employer finding this and tracing it back to me but I was on top of my game for this job, and also two days is not enough time for someone to get settled in to a new position. Doesnt help that they hired me for my Solidworks background but judged me from an AutoCAD standpoint which is quite a bit different in how it works, esentially rendering everything in 3d in real time, while autoCAD is primarily a 2d environment with the ability to go to 3d. Both have advantages and disadvantages but I wont get in to that. Still I dont believe that someone can intigrate into a new work environment in two days with almost no instruction on who they run their system, seriously I had to chase someone down on the opposite side of the building just to ask a question and get a half-assed answer. Anyways end rant enjoy these cars.

Thanks for the info. now I'm stuck trying to decide between that and the 5Axis spoiler.

And I'll bet the management clowns who couldn't even let you get oriented before sacking you cannot themselves plot out a CAD drawing someone else has drawn for them.

That is bullshit. Did you have an exit interview or was it basically "pack your shit and get out of here?"

Also kind of bullshit to be hired on for solid modeling experience then get stuck with autoCAD too.

It's probably for the best. The trial period works both ways, and would you really want to work for those idiots? My experience is that the people worth working for don't mess you around.

Yeah it was extra bad when they interviewed someone for the same position right in front of me today.

So basically they can go shove a biro down their todger, right?

It's always disappointing when something doesn't work out, but it's so much better to find out right at the start than two or three months down the line.

Pretty much and they wanted me to basically ignore all the features that make Solidworks what it is, such as being able to test material, and assembly strength and check for part interference. oh well its their 16k wasted for what they essentially are going to use as a shiny version of CAD. also no exit interview just here's your check for the two days, don't bother coming back.

pretty much, and they wanted every design rushed out to their shop before it even went through any interference, and strength simulations, like the two main reasons to have Solidworks. basically their thoughts are if they screw up in the shop they'll just patch it up and do it again, I'm kind of glad my name wont be assigned to stuff like that.

yeah I just kind of wished they hadn't wasted two days of my time when I could have been out looking for another job.

Try and find out the name of the person responsible. Then get their address, wait until they go out, break into their house, and pee on their pillow - just a dribble, though, nothing too obvious. I reckon that should make you about even.

I'd rather not go to jail lol. Really the only bad thing in my life is the lack of a job.
