I just started a new job, have been here for almost 3 months, & honestly CANNOT wait until I can freaking telework. One of my new coworkers & the lady who trained her got on my nerves today. Her trainer has absolutely NO CONSIDERATION for anyone else AT ALL. I answer phones all day long at a bank & all I can hear is her talking on the phone semi loud to the customer on the line & her annoying side conversations w/my coworker who she trained. Its hard to focus on the caller & (CONTD)

I’d give you advice, OP, but you’re just going to ignore.

Ok, I’ll bite: worry about your progress; you can’t control others so might as well focus on yourself.

Not a ton of empathy on this thread, but could this job be a mismatch? How soon until you can telework?

I’ve always hated working in common areas and having to try to focus when everyone around me is talking, I just lose my concentration easily. Working from home or in quiet spaces at work has helped me focus.

& what they are saying and try to tune out the annoying background noise. So ridiculous.

Also, with me being new--I'm also self conscious about people listening to my conversations while I'm talking as well. I could have sworn I heard the trainer in my section whisper to the girl she trained while I was on the phone and say "I can't help but overhear and listen to peoples' conversations." Like wth. EXTREMELY ANNOYING, AGGRAVATING, IRRITATING, and it makes me feel very uncomfortable because I feel like I'm being judged while I'm on the phone. How do you even handle an issue like this??

Would it be wrong for me to consider getting my seat changed?

Any tips for organizing a bedroom, closet, dresser & bathroom? My teen has IADHD, and low executive functioning. Her room looks like a land mine. Clean clothes are mixed in with dirty, her desk is a disaster, she won’t let go of clothes she’s outgrown, drawers are open with clothes hanging out. A therapist said to close her door if we don’t want to see it but it’s more than that. She needs this important life skill & I don’t know how to help. Easier to organize w/o her but that’s not a solution.

Did any one of you receive any onsite opportunity while working in IBM GBS and after how many years from your joining.
