What is feeling when your new manager is telling you are doing a bad job after three days of training and doesn’t offer to help you? She rather end a zoom call frustrated and gets upset at the littlest of things rather than train.

Many people are given promotions into a management position either because they look good on paper or they’ve been with the company for a long time. It doesn’t mean they have any leadership attributes or skills.
Can you try to reach out to other coworkers for help?

Don’t know any one else yet. I believe just because you are the founder doesn’t mean you are a leader or good manager.

Consider the source. Full onboarding takes more than three days. The manager is either dependent on positive outcome immediately by their superior, or doesn't have a college degree—good managers coach and train. The best way for turnover is to put your new employee down without proper training or coaching. If you do your best not to internalize the manager's comments, but listen to what needs to improve and do your best, it's all you can do.

Yeah OP did you meet your potential manager in the interview? That’s always important

I had a manager like that. Sent me list of complaints after 2 months. Look for a company that doesn’t expect immediate independence. I’m not sure it exists

That is an absolutely absurd expectation, 3 days to be properly trained…
I will say in terms of onboarding, doing so remotely is much more difficult than it ever was in person. In person when you had a question you asked your neighbor and got a response right away, it helped you learn and catch on quickly. In this remote environment, you have to call or send an IM or email and wait for a response which isn’t always immediate and delays your productivity and learning process. 3 days is a totally unfair expectation and i would challenge that manager to start a brand new company and see where their at in three days. They definitely shouldn’t be in management.
I agree with the other posters, probably time to keep interviewing, at the same time though, until you can get out of there; you can also look at this as an opportunity for clarity, there is nothing worse than someone telling you your doing great when they don’t actually think that and then a couple months later blowing up about how you’re doing your job. Or if you really want to keep this job because you want to work for that company specifically, make sure you tell your manager the truth at some point about how you feel regarding their expectations. Make sure you set proper expectations for them, don’t commit to being able to do things you can’t. Generally people will be receptive to someone telling them up front the truth about what they can or can’t do in the requested time frame versus someone committing to having it done and dropping the ball which makes people furious.
Also, don’t be afraid to ask for help. Your new, reach out to your peers and ask them for help.

Sorry about your experience. I would report the case to HR though. This is not a good way for a manager to onboard a new employee especially for something beyond your control.

like

Exactly!!! Onboarding is stressful enough then to be treated this way is unacceptable.

Did you discuss expectations before you onboarded? I have no idea what your role is and what the usual learning time is but sounds unrealistic. Plus if she’s the top leader doesn’t really bode well for the culture she’s building with her unrealistic expectations and attitude. And it’s not going to get better if she’s already acting this way.

like

That’s a good plan. Just remember that you have value and you deserve respect. If you won’t obtain that there then best to cut the cord sooner rather than later. Good luck!

Is she new to you and the company or are you new to company? New to her? Regardless, it sucks and I would document via email. Reply to the meeting invite or her request that it not happen again and explain that you did troubleshooting and could not identify why the screen froze. Be sure to ask for tips to mitigate in the future.

Ugh. I'm assuming you mean on the job as your manager for one week? Send the email as I suggested. Here's hoping it was just a bad day.

I've got this new manager saying rude things to me just because I asked some hard questions. She accused me of playing the game, disrespecting her because I talked to someone else in Management I have been friend with that person for five years. Also said we are going to have a problem working together

Not cool.

If an employee mentions something disparaging or accusatory about their manager during an exit interview, how would you handle? What happens if what the employee said is slanderous and a “he said/she said” situation? I.e. employee claimed the manager made a disparaging remark about an item of clothing being worn by someone in accordance with their beliefs. If you opt to share the feedback with the manager, would the manager have a legal case against the company or former employee?
