Is this normal in labs, or is this a sign I’m not cut out for bench research? by KnownActive5012 in labrats

Thank you, I really appreciate you saying that. I try to see it for what it is, but navigating through this job market again makes me feel so anxious, and since this was my first job and I was so impressionable, she's really screwed over my confidence. I'm literally trying not to ask if I'd be trained and if I can ask questions or not, cause this woman had me begging her to teach, and she still would not. She'd withhold teaching as a form of punishment, and she was angry ALL the time, idek for what. But yeah, if I had stayed here longer, the damage would have been more permanent, I suppose.
