Tidy up emails and delete any personal files/belongings (particularly if you may be asked to leave pronto). Read your employment contract. Don't just accept it but ask questions. The above you can do later. When it happened to me, I wish I would have challenged, not left and spoken to the senior. Maintain your composure. Good luck.

Unfortunately I know many intelligent people who have fallen foul of this..... On feeling ignored, get over it. Seriously. Absolutely everyone is primarily worried about themselves. So it may just be that your managers ( who have never been trained to manage or to teach) are stressed / in their own world and haven't yet recognised your talent. Remember you're cheap which offers real protection. Key is not to be annoying. Learn what you can and try to add value every day. For the first year or so you won't add hardly any - but that's ok. They're investing in you because in time, once the apprenticeship period is over, you will be adding real value and that becomes your protection.
