Glittering-Wheel-211's journey

I started a temp-to-hire position at a factory last week through a staffing agency. I had my first day of training yesterday, and it was on what I was told is the most challenging spot on the assembly line. Today, I was thrown into the role on my own. Unfortunately, I faced a lot of hostility from a coworker who was constantly berating me for not working fast enough. It was incredibly frustrating because I was trying my best, but I felt overwhelmed trying to keep up with someone who had been doing the job for months. After today, I've decided not to return tomorrow and to end my assignment. I'm contemplating whether I should inform the staffing agency about the situation and the specific person who made my experience so negative. Part of me wants to just walk away and forget it, but I also feel like I might not be the only one who has faced this kind of treatment. I want to be professional about it, but I'm unsure how to communicate my reasons for leaving without burning bridges. I know I might need the agency again in the future, so I want to handle this carefully.

I recently found myself in a tough spot after switching jobs. I left my previous position at Job A at the end of May for a new role that promised a better work/life balance and a great schedule. However, shortly after starting, I discovered that they were cutting hours, which forced me to look for something else. I ended up taking a temp-to-hire position about 40 minutes away, which was advertised as a Monday to Friday job with no weekends. But during orientation, they mentioned they hadn’t worked a weekend in ages, only to find out an hour later that the schedule actually required 60 hours a week, including weekends! Feeling frustrated, I received a call from Job A asking if I wanted to come back. It would mean working weekends, but only every other week, and I’d be back to a job that I know well and is just 10 minutes from home. Now I'm torn. My husband is upset with me for switching jobs so quickly, especially since he has a stable 40-hour salary job with a predictable schedule. I’m worried about how it looks to have three jobs in just two months. But honestly, with the way Job B misled me about the schedule, I feel justified in wanting to return to Job A. I’m just not sure if it will reflect poorly on me in the long run.

I had an interview for a position recently and was invited back later that week to shadow the team to see if it was a good fit for me. I rearranged my schedule and made the effort to show up, but after that, I didn’t hear anything for days. I decided to follow up and when I reached out to the hiring manager, she seemed evasive and struggled to provide clear answers. She promised to call me back after making a few calls, but four days went by without any communication. I later found out from a mutual acquaintance that they had already made their decision about who to hire before I even shadowed. It felt incredibly disrespectful to have me take time off work for something they weren’t genuinely considering me for. I just don’t understand why they would waste my time like that.
