Was This Company Unreasonable?

[abbeyleigh]

I worked with an agency for this company for 3 days because they said I didn't grasp onto Excel spreadsheet as quick as they wanted even though I had done it before i had 2 piles of boxes of letters to be logged I was nearly finished with them and 2 hours into my shift they called me in the office for a chat and said they expected The passed few days have been from me and they had told me there was no face pace involved well obviously they were inpatient no other company I've worked for would do that.

No offense, but could you please re-write that with punctuation. I'm finding it difficult to fully understand what you have written. It may just be me.

Are you sure office work is the best role for you? You seem to have had a fair few struggles.

What is "face pace"?

[Canary42]

Sorry, but I haven't a clue what you're talking about.

You are asking a lot of different questions and receiving sensible, considered responses with very little feedback from you. Once you posted that you did not think the job was right for you. Maybe you need to review the answers you have received to all your questions and follow up where you can. By all mean continue asking for advice etc. but do follow up

Is it me?? I do not have a clue what the post is asking or trying to get across??

[Spicerack]

Sorry to hear you were 'let go'. It even happened to me once and it sucks.
Just don't let them grind you down. Next job might be brilliant.

I understood the post - abby was sacked because she didnt do the work at a fast enough pace for the company, and she is asking if that's reasonable.
The answer is yes

[bednobs]

in all honesty, ive had this but from the other way - it's really difficult to find reliable admin staff who can do things the way you want. Don't let it get you down; either there will be a company who appreciate your skills, or you'll move onto something else like shop or bar work, and you'll find you are better suited to it

Were you sacked Abbey?

Abbey I understood your post.

It may be that you were going as fast as you could but they believed (wrongly or rightly) it should have been faster.

Don’t take it personally: and look at it as something you’ve learnt about another company.

You’ve had a few admin / office type jobs before - do you think there’s some line of work where your skills are a better match? Somewhere you wld be happier ?

[eve1974]

Not sacked pasta - as it was an agency (temp) position the employer cld just rung up agency and ask them to send someone else instead.

Abbey sure the agency will find you something. Else

Thanks for clarifying that eve.
