Will try to keep it vague, but I'm due to start in the next week or so pending employment checks. I follow the company on social media and they have all sorts of things like employee of the week/month, pictures of employees at work and just generally a lot of positivity towards them.
I do think this is very nice that staff are appreciated as so many jobs barely give you so much as a thanks.
It sounds silly but I'm a bit worried about not making it onto these 'lists'.
All the comments are like 'xyz is just so lovely/so bubbly/constantly going above and beyond/nothing is too much trouble/so chatty.'
I think I'm a kind and friendly person but I'm fairly quiet, I wouldn't be described as 'bubbly'.
I believe that I do my job well and correctly, but I've learned from experience not to constantly bend over backwards for employers because they will just take advantage of it, and you don't get any extra recognition or money for doing so.
I mean constantly offering to do extra overtime or whatever, I just do my hours and go because it's my job, not my life.
Sounds a bit of a downer but I'm not really used to being fussed over, I of course want to make a good impression and work hard.
However it seems that they're very social media heavy and it's always pictures like, "Look what so and so did today at our company, he went out of his way to do this just for us.'
Anyway, I just find it all a bit daunting and I don't think I'm that likeable.
Also I feel like newbies are not generally well-received at work, so I'm sort of dreading being the new person, it takes time.
