Anyone else guilty of poisoning new hires viewpoints?? Some of em just asked me so many questions and I wanna be honest with them.

Like sorry Timmy pls don’t ask me “what happens when ‘politics’ come up in the work place” on a call of 30 other new hires next time so I don’t have to say that “we basically let our bosses say that we don’t talk about politics then he proceeds to talk about politics and then we talk about politics”.

(The hiring committee person literally cut me off after this 🤣)

One time I forgot to turn the “doom and gloom” off with a new hire. I had just gotten up from my desk headed to the first of several meetings that day. She’s introducing herself to people as the day is getting started. She says, “Hey, I’m B!” while extending her hand.

I replied, “Hey. I’m K. I’m headed to a day full of meeting and I hope I fall down the stairs on the way.” Oops.

One of my former bosses was scared my messages were going to leak to the press as if it wasn’t the story everywhere about the chip shortage taking out plants workforce’s.

I enjoy the new hire who thinks they have all the answers day 1

Oh I had to do the “continue saying okay and nod your head to everything” talking to my bosses near the end of my last role— when they sat me down to tell me about whatever they disapproved of me doing in a lot of 1:1’s i had with them.

They didn’t want to hear what I had to say only wanted me to listen. I was sick of only listening and not being listened to

I just let them stumble around until they figure it out on their own. Your method is probably kinder.

Oh yeah, I mean the best lies are closest to the truth. I try to eke out something about some aspect I like about something, but I keep it low key. But noooo I don't tell the truth no way.

LOL I've been guilty of doing this in the past and now I just keep quiet. Better to let people figure stuff out on their own versus you biasing them...and the smart ones always pick it up. The ones that don't...well, I don't think they last long anyway haha

oh man that's the worst, honestly...I try not to go TOO deep then, but enough that people know I've acknowledged they've said it, and try not to shut it down too hard because I want them too feel comfortable coming to me after. Basically, I like being everyone's secret keeper so I do try to keep the door open looolll

We are not paid enough to mentor them! Just be honest

That meme, omg!! 😂😂😂

Hi ! Looking for advice. I’ve been with a company in BC for 2.5 years, started support role, promoted to smb AE a year ago. salary is 65k with uncapped commission.
