If I don't like a company's system or process at work does it mean I'm uncoachable or is the job just not for me

Not liking a system doesn't mean you're incapable of using it. I've certainly used some systems I didn't like, and a few I would have burned to the ground had that been an option. So no, that doesn't mean you can't be coached. If your antipathy toward the company's system is so profound, however, perhaps it just isn't the job for you.

There is a difference between not liking a system and not understanding or being able to execute it. Both are valid things; figuring out which side you are on will probably answer that question.

You’re always going to run into things about your job you don’t like, but you do have choices:

1. If you have the ability to change them, change them.
2. If you can’t change them, learn to live with them or learn to work around them.
3. If you can’t live with them or figure out how to work around them in a way that is acceptable to the company, look for a new job.

Neither? It could mean the company isn’t right for anyone

Finished my loop for a marketing role 2 weeks ago, and got an email the next day that they wanted to give me an offer. Had my initial call with recruiter to put the offer together. It was lower than I expected, and we ended that call positively as I needed some time to consider, and we agreed to follow up in a few days. It’s now been a week and both recruiters have been unresponsive. Did I just lose this offer bc I tried to negotiate a more equitable comp pack, or is it a slow process?

How does a sole engineer at a company go about getting management to actually care how production machines run?
