pray for a good manager

Keep in mind, MDHHS is a glorified staffing agency for the State of Michigan, so most employees do not get equivalent state benefits and are not guaranteed bonuses. My specific unit that I was in suffered from "we are family" syndrome that tends to find its way into workplaces where that mentality will not fit since it is just a job at the end of the day. My training was a bit botched due to the unit's implicit policy of a "self-paced" training schedule (which was more like a self-guided training schedule in practice). I was not assigned a mentor to guide me through the training process as was the policy at MDHHS and I was not trained in the same manner as others in the unit. I felt like a person who was thrown into a lake of unfamiliar information, was not taught how to swim, and then was confronted by management asking me why I wasn't swimming. This led to stress and confusion that ultimately led to my decision to leave.
