I know nothing about plumbing but just got a job selling water softeners and for some reason they won’t let me do a ride along to see the science of how these things actually work? Wondering how big of a red flag this is

Hmmm... who would you ride along with? How large is the company?

Well maybe unless you belong to a department that is privy to the process then I think they have the right to deny you access. You should check your policy. It doesn't always have to mean a red flag.

Hi 👋. I posted here a few weeks ago about being nervous conducting a PIP conversation with my team member.
I did it this week and let me just say it was the weirdest conversation ever. The guy is usually argumentative and tries to disprove every bit of feedback. But this time he just sat there and asked no questions and said nothing.
Maybe he’s looking for new jobs already - don’t mind this at all and this would be a good outcome for him overall.
