Has anyone else ever had a job where you are hired to be part of “program” and they cram in years worth of material in 8 weeks and anyone who doesn’t get it right way is immediately fired? (hexbear.net)

Just so wild to me. I now work with people who make massive screw ups on the regular. In any case, is there a name for this sort of fantastical boot camp I described?

The automobile repair shop I work at does this. They claim they’ll train you but they do exactly what you’ve described and then fire people every time they mess up. It reached a point where I started taking some of them as apprentices off-hours just to give them a leg up. They really just want people who have already gone through an apprentice program and don’t want to be bothered training new recruits that haven’t been through it.

That was my assumption; the training program is to weed out inexperienced people
