New job😣

[Monica53]

Hello everyone x
Looking for guidance/reassurance/advice,I started a new job 2 weeks ago and have been training for processes etc and this is F/t having worked p/t for 5 yrs. However I'm totally stressing as to can I do job and how I feel today is OMG I've forgotten everything from training and dreading Monday, by end of week I had brain overload 😣. Is this normal feeling or am I just totally useless and stupid and incompetent 😩help xx

Hi
Thank you for advice. Had awful day yesterday praying today is better. Week four, though only second really doing job, line manager doesn't seem approachable either, feeling like you have had training so get on with it! Feel so inadequate and like I've made a big mistake and would love to have feedback from line manager but just get nothing not even assistance when ask to check something not giving assistance which makes me feel sick😣😣

Maybe someone else (some other colleague) can give you feedback? Ask if they may suggest anything you might do differently to get on with your job more easily, smoothly. Ask for specific advice. -It seems so easy for you guys, but I'm still struggling. Can you suggest anything you think I ought to do differently that might help me get to grips with the job a little bit quicker. Start with that, and if you draw a blank you might think about approaching the manager. Two weeks is nothing, really.

One cannot help but wonder what it is you actually do, at your job? Surely, with some practice, you'll be able to get to grips with it. Two weeks in a new job is nothing...

Hi
Well 24th day in job and certain things are relatively OK, however the organisation seem to push new tasks onto you without enough training and expect you to pick it up, some of the staff are great and I feel relatively Okish to ask questions, although some it's like OMG you should know attitude! today has been one of those days, and dreading tomorrow,. I spoke to a women who has been there for a couple of years and she did tell me you will get the hang of it and don't push myself, and also she was on the verge of leaving several times due to the lack of support and the work being pushed onto you without real training. It is data management and management systems which I have done previously, though slightly different and I have to get to learn the system and the processes and with all jobs the wording and specifics which I am sure will come in time!!

Hi well 8th week and stressed out! Not sure if I'll ever settle into this post!just feel like I've cracked something and then feel omg I've made a mistake!😣😣which at present anxiety levels are so high!!and could just weep as I'm feeling a total idiot and failure!also I can't just give up as I'm not that way inclined so if mistakes are made take the constructive criticism see how to do it and get a buddy as I was informed and not to be made to feel like I'm incompetent which I do at mo. Also I'm the main breadwinner in the house so that's additional anxiety and pressure. Sorry to rent I'm just dreading tomorrow and have no one I can really confide in😣

Sorry to hear your still struggling, Monica. You're still new to the role. It can take months to really settle in. In my last role, it took almost a year before I felt excited to go to work and left at the end of each day feeling as though I'd nailed it. At the beginning of that job, I lost sleep, felt anxious all the time and dreaded going in but I really wanted to excel in it. You will get there :)

Thank you - yep anxiety levels rocketing!, I so want to enjoy work. There is one lovely lady behind me who is delightful. I'm praying I just get through next 4 months and look back and think yep I've done it! I hope!!
