I really dislike when my manager tells me to learn something from YouTube and apply it directly to my project. It feels like I’m being asked to figure everything out on my own without proper guidance or support. It’s frustrating because I’d rather have more structured resources or hands-on assistance instead of just relying on random online videos.

You're being asked to use the cognitive part of your brain rather than expect silver-platter handouts. If you didn't learn how to self-learn during your educational journey, your expensive diploma may not be worth the paper it's printed on.

The real world is not college. The real world does not always consist of structured resources and hands-on assistance.

If you can't figure things out on your own, you will eventually be placed on the secret layoff list for efficient execution during the next reorganization.

And BTW, YouTube is not the only place to learn. You can also apply a skill you developed in kindergarten and 1st grade called "reading."

You could also quiz your teammates for assistance.

Or, you could ask AI for assistance. But without appropriate cognitive skills, you might lack appropriate judgment of the results.

I will say part of working is problem solving on your own (hence the videos). Your manager should be guiding you, but odds are they're super busy which is unfortunate.

I'm feeling a lot of anger towards my manager (now he's acting normal but there were moments where he was condescending/dismissive/mocked my and others work/arrogant/said stuff was "wrong" constantly/belittling the difficulty of tasks etc. in the past project).
Maybe it is "standard chewing out" but it bothered me a lot. So much that I find myself still getting all fired up inside thinking about it...
Idk how to let go of this :/ Thoughts?
