A little bit of context: I started working for the state as a landscaper/cleaner for low income housing developments in October, and I come from about 3 years of working in parks and recreation for various cities in the area. Note the name of the position: landscaper, and then cleaner, implying that landscaping is the main duty of this position. Even the job description corroborates this, with about three quarters of the page listing off various landscaping tasks like mowing, trimming etc.
However, since I've started I have done none of those things. I haven't even held a line trimmer. It's been made clear that the main priority of my position is going into these crack dens sometimes referred to as "section 8" and cleaning them out. Refer back to my job history, I have zero experience in this kind of stuff, yet they throw me right into it. Then, surprise surprise, I get a very stern lecture from my Russian coworker who barely speaks any english, basically saying that if I don't do a better job at cleaning up these putrid apartments that he would write a bad review in my monthly report and get me fired.
This follows a string of condescending remarks by both him and the maintenance mechanics. I haven't even been here a month and I already feel like I'm in a hostile work environment. My supervisor also takes this condescending tone when I bring it up with her, and she claims that "I should know what our expectations are because (the Russian) is training you"
The Russian is in fact not training me at all. He doesn't tell me what he expects because he can't. He treats me like an idiot and gets mad at me for the most basic shit, despite not even attempting to train me.
I can't talk to him about it because he literally won't understand a single word I say, and I can't talk to my supervisor about it because he's a senior employee and has a lot of leeway. He's not bluffing when he says he could get me fired.
I don't know who to turn to. I've already written an email to HR but I probably won't hear back until tomorrow. There's an employee assistance program but that's for therapy and whatnot. I'm also in a union but I'd rather not deal with them until its absolutely necessary.
If anyone has any other advice I'd appreciate it, otherwise this was just a rant. Anyways thanks for coming to my Ted talk.
Edit: I don't know what flair to use for this kind of post, sorry
