I think this might be a cultural issue. It's anecdotal but I think I can offer some perspective. I've been living in the US for several years now, but I'm originally from Brazil. I started my career there. In Brazil, my experience was always that people initially trust newcomers, and only lose their trust if they fuck up. I always felt trusted when joining a new team, and thankfully I never fucked up. But I saw people fuck up, and other people lost their trust on them very quickly. In the US (and I think Canada, both countries seem to have similar work cultures), it seems to be the opposite. When you join a new team, you have to prove yourself worth of their respect. You have to do some initial labor to show that you deserve your place in the team. That's been the case in every team I've joined so far. I don't know what it's like in Israel, but I wonder if the author of the post had a similar experience to mine.
