I feel like a mess.

A guy who:

-generally gets along with everyone

-starts at a job that pays the most money.

-Backed out of 2 places because of a $4 dollar difference.

-Was turned loose after 4 days, but was considered on orientation for 28 days. I

-made a med error early on.

-messed up some paper work that I had never been taught how to do. Gets put on a final warning.

-Has a single night supervisor who is riding everything I do.

What in the world should I do? I want to quit. This supervisor is all over everything I do. Is never positive. I sat down and talked to her and just let her know i was open to all the help she would give. Just trying to be the humble new guy. She is a newer grad too. But I am being ridden and it just feels like she is trying to find something. I go to work paranoid and having to watch my back about my own co-workers.

It sounds as though you have already pursued a remedy via your chain of command but gotten nowhere. If so, I urge you to make an appointment with your HR department. You deserve to be treated fairly and reasonably. Take along a document outlining all of the incidents that have occurred - dates, times, and exactly what happened. This situation sounds like harassment to me - creating a hostile work environment. This is illegal and therefore actionable. DO NOT share or confide anything to your co-workers about what you have done or plan to do.

Hope you find another job soon - this sounds like a nasty place to work.
