First day at a new job always comes with a mix of excitement and anxiety. Today, I met new teammates, some smiled warmly, while others seemed focused. I was nervous but tried to keep it cool. So many names to remember and processes to learn! But one colleague helped me settle in, which made things a bit easier. It still feels overwhelming, but I’m hopeful. New beginnings are scary, but also full of potential. Can’t wait to see how this journey unfolds.

Remember, they are as nervous/excited/apprehensive to meet you as you are to meet them.

You are trying to remember their names, figure out your place in things, and learn a metric tonne of new stuff.

They are trying to figure out your personality, how you will fit in, and hoping that you will help them feel less overworked.

Yes, totally! The more you talk and connect, the more you start feeling like you belong and before you know it, you’re part of the group instead of the “new person.”

Sounds exciting, congrats on the new job! I'm always so nervous on the first day, the part about meeting new people always freaks me out a little. I know I'll forget half the names, but that's just part of it, I guess. It's good that you had the one colleague to help you settle in, I remember people who did that for me.

Exactly! That first-day anxiety can feel heavy, but meeting new people, exchanging introductions, and finding friendly faces really helps melt the nerves away.

I get that. First days can feel like trying to catch a moving train, but having even one person who’s willing to help makes all the difference. Hang in there—it’ll click faster than you think. And yeah, that mix of nerves and hope? Totally normal.

I recently joined TW some months back and I dont know why I think have made a wrong choice for myself. I am feeling like I am lost. I am not able to fit in in this high expectations environment. I am used to working in a place where we always worked by taking help from others and here it is sort of assumed that we would be knowing everything right from day 1. Also there is no pairing in my project. Any suggestions on what should be done would be welcome.

At a different job I had a customer trying to swindle me in telling me that there was a deal in an item that never had a deal or promotion for sale so he made me scan the item 20 times before believing me.

He was calmer and he told us to have a great day as he left us to clean up the mess he made.
