I'm a new employee, and my manager told me that I'm no good at my job. How am I supposed to learn if I'm not allowed to ask questions?

You have the obligation to ask for a proper training, where you can clarify all the doubts you have, otherwise it is very difficult for you to be good at your job.

If your manager has already told you that you're no good at your job, then it may be difficult to learn anything from them. It's important to be able to ask questions in order to understand what you need to do better.

If you feel like you can't ask your manager directly, try looking for a mentor or another coworker who can help guide you. Someone has to do it, because learning all the ropes by yourself in a new company is next to impossible. I hope you're able to get help eventually!

Your manager is just trying to help you improve. There's no need to be discouraged – ask your manager for clarification on what you need to do differently, and take their feedback to heart. With a little effort, you'll be able to improve and become a valuable member of the team.

Your manager is a bit of a prick, that's all I got for you

If that's how you're getting treated I wouldn't expect to learn anything there, at least from your manager. Just do you best till you can get somewhere better

Just do your best to learn from your coworkers, your manager is likely not a good leader if this is how they talk to their employees. Good luck out there!

Learn from your coworkers, that kind of attitude is an early sign of a poor manager but I'm sure there's at least one person there who will help you out

I have over 12 years in B2B sales/sales management experience along with a graduate degree. I am wanting to shift gears and I am at a point where I can invest time in myself to learn through practical experience. The new industry I am wanting to pursue is real estate investment. I have read all the books but want some hands on experience on the property management side. How could I best leverage my skills for a role in this, and what should my expectations be for negotiation in compensation?

Say I work in tech and have a decent finance experience. Would my 3 yoe of domain "expertise" in tech make me an attractive bet for the banks Tech coverage team? In other words, does having experience in Tech make me more hireable for IBD?

So back in July I went out for a new position at my small company that was rapidly expanding (Account Manager). Was notified that I didn't get the full promotion but was told instead that I was still moving up and was going to be Customer Service/Account Manager Support.

I feel like I am being taken advantage of. ADVISE APPRECIATED.

Higher offers at 27-28 with more fixed pay is from contract and hire/fire type companies. Mostly indirect hiring instead of direct employment with the final employer, means higher pay with lower jon security - we get little more pay, companies get the option to let go with ease later!
