Recently graduated and started working in larger organisation. The company provides training for new hires. All throughout the training we are mentored by more senior employees. As a part of the training we were split into smaller groups (teams) and given a bigger task/project to solve in the next few weeks. We were told that it's up to us how we manage our team and our tasks.
However, yesterday at 5pm one of our team members was told that we are not allowed to leave ("shouldn't" leave) till 6pm even though on our contracts it's written that working hours are flexible and usually it is 9pm-5pm.
Moreover, whenever any of the new hires is a little bit late for the training his late arrival is reported and he is welcome with "Are you alright?" question. The way how they say it makes it sound like it is a passive agressive and quite shaming.
In general, many of the trainers treat as if we are high school kids - telling us when to take breaks and asking us to explain ourselves when we happen to arrive late from the break.
My questions are:
- How can we let them know in a kind manner not to treat us as kids?
- What to answer to the HR when he/she ask you on a 5 -10 min late arrival "Are you alright?" (I was thinking about some friendly/humorous reply that would make them slightly embarrassed that they are negatively oriented towards us)
