Workplace Bullying/Harassment?
Need some input on a situation.
If a supervisor is constantly reporting lies about you, how can you defend yourself when it comes to facing a manager?
When you are told to do an advanced technical skill and they know you are still training, yet report you for 'not doing your job' how do you bring this up to a manager who does not want to 'ruffle a few feathers' with the core-guys?

Ask for a detailed break down of the jobs you are not completing. Then call a meeting with your manager to go over how you can improve. It will show initiative and in the meeting you can explain the tasks they are reporting that you can't do is really caused by incomplete training.

Tell the supervisor how you feel about the situation. If it doesn't help go to the manager.
Or you can just give em a punch in the di*k and make em your bi*ch

Yep pile up the paperwork. Take notes, times, dates, etc. If it ever comes to it, out documenting management typically equates a better ruling at a work tribunal.

Plant drugs in his office, then call the cops.
Just make sure you didn't buy a Caprese salad.

I'd say go to your manager and discuss the issue first - maybe there's a misunderstanding that can be resolved with a little communication. Taddling to HR might fix the current issue, but might damage the relationship further going forward.
Absolutely document everything as backup for down the road, just in case.

It's not tattling, HR is trained to deal with this stuff. Speaking to them about how to deal with the situation likely won't even warrant HR speaking with the manager at first. If anything it will be on record in the event that there is an issue down the road, which will help the OP's cause.

Obviously your understanding and your bosses understanding of your job description is different.
Get those 2 things on the same page and then document everything. Putting things in emails is a good way.

Not enough detail to say that this is your situation, but lots of people are taking on roles lately that expose their lack of hard skills so if your manager is assuming that you've been "trained" to his standards and should be able to figure things out on your own from there you may may be looking at a Rathji scenario.
It's not always right, but when are people are expecting the wages/benefits that they are today it's pretty frustrating to have to formally teach them every single little thing.
Talk to him/her and make sure you're on the same page as far as to what they're going to teach you and what you're expected to figure out on your own. Maybe your manager thinks you've got more experience than you actually do, maybe he's being unrealistic.

Yeah, I agree with the above.
Did they ask you about these skills when they hired you and did you do what millions of other people do and say "Yeah no problem, I got dis"
If you didn't know how to do it did you tell him/her when it was assigned that you didn't know how to do this or were waiting for training?
IF they were aware that you couldn't do this, and assigned it anyways its the same as a suicide pass in hockey. Document everything that you've done to complete the task, document your conversations and then go either to your supervisor or HR.
Right now your basically stacking up for an unsatisfactory performance review if your company does that.
