Is it always like this? Admittedly I'm only on day 4 but I'm struggling a bit.
The first three days everyone was really busy so I spent time familiarising myself with policies and procedures, e-learning etc.
The team (6 people) are all really close and I'm feeling a bit like an outsider just now, lots of in jokes... They all are in a WhatsApp group and socialise outside of work so often are talking about that. They did invite me out with them on Saturday but as I don't drink I felt like a bit of a left out lemon as they got drunker and drunker so I left quite early.
Today, the person who is meant to be training me returned and we have clashed already. She had given me a task to do and the task was not legally compliant and she got her back up when I politely told her that her calculations weren't correct so there has been a bit of a bad atmosphere the rest of the afternoon.
I'm just feeling a bit deflated as I was so excited to start. Is it just first week hiccups and everything will work out or have I made a terrible decision??
