I’m 4 weeks in to a new job and first 3 weeks were great but this week I feel like I’m having set backs. I got feedback to slow down, clear communication and I think they’re happy that I’m here but I feel like they’re breathing down my neck now.

Should I talk to my manager or her supervisor (we’re a small team and she’s been on a few 1:1)

First six months on an agency job should be about listening and learning. They know you’re new and need to break into their systems and culture. Take the advice to slow down to heart. Talk to your manager about his/her expectations during the six month immersion period, and what actions and attitudes on your part would be most helpful and productive.

I think it’s a red flag. And the only person that should be giving you any real feedback is your manager.

I have not been diagnosed with ADHD. I definitely fit some of the characteristics that go unnoticed in females.

It seems rude when she says it, and she follows it up with “I say that because I love you” which i feel is so unprofessional all around. Anyone have guidance on how to handle this?
