its been a while since my office has add a new employee join but on Thursday this week, we have a new person starting.
I’m quite nervous. I just don’t know what to expect. I keep thinking, what if she’s horrible? What if she’s judgemental? What if she’s bossy?
from what I’ve heard, she seems to be quite experienced and has been in management roles in the past so I’m just worried that she might think act like she’s the boss.
I know I’m being unfair and prejudice. I could meet her on Thursday and she could end up being the loveliest person I’ve ever met but I think my anxiety comes down to the fact that I hate uncertainty and I’ve had bad experiences with people in the workplace on a few occasions.
I’m also quite introverted. I’m nice and I get on with my work, but I feel like I’m quite quiet and I get left out of things sometimes and I worry that my other colleagues may bond with this new person and then they end up getting really friendly and I’m just on my own!
has anyone else felt like this? I remember when I that I felt nervous when I started, which is normal, I never thought I’d feel nervous about someone else starting!
