In the middle of a call I describe my situation and they hang up on me?

Complete lack of empathy Workers considered numbers I don't recommend them

Training testimony “All in, towards employment” or depression.. Initial motivation: I was very motivated to participate in this training to understand why I could not find a job despite my previous skills and training. Start of training: The training started late due to latecomers, which I found disrespectful to those who were on time. Speaker and group dynamics: A speaker, described as an artist, got the participants talking about themselves, but this led to derogatory remarks about me, such as "you are [age] and you are bitter", which made me feel really bad and hurt. I found this disrespectful. He also boasted that Manpower was unaware of exactly what he was doing. Composition of the group: The group was made up of three women and one man. The man, who had been forced to come by his advisor Forem, showed a lack of respect from the first day by making comments about me. Despite my attempts to put him in his place, it was unsuccessful. The group itself had varying levels of motivation, tending more toward the low end than the high end. “Update on my personal situation” module: I have been judged and contradicted on every point because I do not have a CESS without trying to find out the cause. My expectations were deemed unrealistic, particularly regarding travel distance, working hours and salary. Personality test: Following the personality test, the trainer took the liberty of sending me to the psychologist, which I found completely inappropriate and unacceptable on her part. Absence from a session: I missed a session to attend an open day and felt anxious due to the request for a certificate of attendance and the lack of response and respect from the trainer. Emotional impact: I felt a lot of anxiety and demotivation, which led me to leave the training. I found the training to be lacking in support and tact, which greatly affected my self-confidence. While this one was supposed to be the complete opposite! Reflection on training: I wonder about the usefulness of training, because it does not serve as support or guidance. However, it is supposed to “put” us to work and understand what is wrong, otherwise we would not need them and we would not sign up. Apart from reading the sheets received on the first day and going to a room to fill them out with a “trainer”, there is nothing. Oh yes, derogatory comments, lack of respect and so on, which make you lose confidence in yourself! The main problem raised by the trainer was precisely this lack of CESS. If this had been a determining criterion, it would have had to be specified during registration to avoid various inconveniences, humiliations and lack of respect, which made me lose even more confidence and self-esteem. Well done ! I sent feedback to the trainer's manager, and her response was that she was sorry that the training offering did not meet my expectations. And what? This means that we are overlooking the behavior of the “trainer” and the “artist” speaker. Note also that she would not have responded to me if her colleague, responsible for the "All in, towards employment" program in Walloon Brabant and Flanders, had not questioned her, which is all the more more shameful! I NEVER want to hear about MANPOWER in Wallonia (Heppignies) again! Because they all sorely lack professionalism, empathy and communication skills...
