About 6 months into a job I realized this was what I needed to do and totally cracked. Didn’t know the questions to ask or the way to learn what I needed to so I burnt out quick and quit. My fault for sure, but there was a ton of pressure to identify issues and fix them because senior people were “just too busy”.
- cgriswald 6y agoI had the opposite problem. I took to it like a duck to water and then was told to stop because I had “better things to do.” When I asked what they suggested things I had already done. I become so bored it really affected my work ethic. I didn’t like that and eventually quit.
