It is upsetting and unjust. Know that what happened is not your fault!! Most managers that I have known at numerous companies do not know how to manage or mentor! The business culture nowadays is a throw away proposition. First of all I feel for you. It probably was not your fault. A lot of employers have a very immature view of what a new hire goes through.
This can be especially worse if you are hired through a head hunter. This can be a big issue if your manager and coworkers have been working a system from day one.
They know everything and think everything is simple. Combine this with the skeleton staff most places run and there can be little support for a new hire. Employers are quick to throw you in the deep end. They keep the swimmers and fire the others. Yes the working world is cruel and poorly run. I hope you can find a good fit one day. Been there 2 weeks 1 day training.
Good luck! I found your stats very interesting! I read the article. For whatever reason, I now am faced with my age and finding a job. This will be interesting. Will someone hire a year-old?
In the back of my head I wonder, and know, a younger person will be more of a choice for me because they will stay longer. But will they? This will be my last stand. My father worked until he was Jane Fonda is 80 and just came out with another movie!
Would you think twice about my age, or would you hire me over a younger person? Upset and feel like a Failure I started a new job only one month ago. I really thought this was going to be my dream job and could see myself here for many years.
Prepare ahead of time. Prepare your opening lines ahead of time so you have a script at the ready when you encounter a new face. Pay attention to your surroundings and other people. If they seem distracted, keep it short. If they seem receptive, you may want to get to know this person better. You can make a great first impression by making someone else feel heard. Do your best to remember names. Could you remind me of your name?
Ask well-timed questions. Think about what you want to know. In some cases, you may need permission, while at other times you may need advice or validation. Prioritize the information you need. You can raise these questions during a one-on-one meeting with your manager. If you have a lot of questions for one person or group, consider setting up a meeting rather than stopping by their desk or office.
In the meeting invite, you can list out the questions you have. This gives them time to prepare responses. Seek out a friend. Learn how to navigate and enjoy your new workplace. Learn how to make the coffee. This task usually falls to the person who comes upon an empty pot. Be proactive and learn how everything works so you can make a fresh pot if you empty it.
Ask your manager what their biggest pain point is. Once you know the answer, spend your first week thinking about how to lessen that burden. Think back to your interviews. Was there a specific need that came up? How have you approached this? You have 1 free article s left this month. You are reading your last free article for this month. Subscribe for unlimited access.

Some companies devote time to allow new workers to become acquainted with the way things operate in their setting. Sometimes, they'll pair new hires with folks who have been their for awhile. Smart business owners don't want new hires wondering around for 45 minutes looking for something that is readily available and within reach.
Time is money. Outside of this, procedures can be different. Documentation for example Many companies use unique formats, where others might document things in a more standardized format. Some companies are run very efficiently, and much of that has to do with the way things operate, how organized everything is, etc.
Other companies just don't give a crap, and these places can take significantly longer to become efficient in. I try to not judge any place until I have 6 months under my belt. By then I feel like I know the processes and much more importantly, know who to ask when I still have lingering questions. It takes 6 months just to make those connections. My one exception was a place where I knew it wasn't a good cultural fit after about 2 months.
Spent the next year trying to get out of that place! Location: The Cupboard Under the Stairs. I tell people it takes a year as even when you have everything handled with the software, etc
