[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The way you worded this all, OP, I want to throw a name out there because I really feel like I know who you work for. If not, it makes me sad there are multiple "yous" floating around in the staffing biz.

First job out of college was for a staffing agency. When I started, I was given a 30-day buddy to shadow for 15 to learn the ropes and then they shadowed me for 15 to make sure I was good to go. Unfortunately, my 30-day buddy treated the situation like I was her employee to supervise and (micro)manage once the time ended. Coworkers told me that her buddies either left for new jobs or just put up with her faux supervising.

She'd get very huffy if decisions were made without her input. She tried to schedule weekly goal meetings with me. Told me what time I should take lunch so we had full phone coverage even though we had a receptionist and no policy on lunchtime phone coverage. Final straw was when I caught her going through my sent emails. She said she was counting to make sure I was making my numbers (we didn't have number goals to meet) and she was concerned to see I'd used my work email for personal reasons. I made a face at that and she found an email from weeks before where I'd told my mom to email me at my personal and work email when my sister was out of surgery so I was sure to see it. She said she'd have to take this to HR, but much like OPs "supervisee," I beat her to the punch. And much like in OPs case, HR sided with me and reprimanded her. I found a new job, during company time too, a month later. [/quote]

Good for you, PP!  Hope the new job was a HUGE step up.  I'm in my first job out of school too and going through the same thing.  I'm glad I'm not alone.[/quote]
