The number one complaint I hear from new employees is lack of training when they first started. I have spoken to different people amongst different sectors and mostly all agree. Do you feel like you were adequately trained in your position or were you just thrown into the fire?

In my current position, I have had great training. That is the first time I’ve been able to say that. Training for most places is sitting in front of a computer for an hour and then just going and doing the job, no guidance, no ability to ask questions, just go do it.

I feel like I have been properly trained within my company. I would speak up if I feel like I need more training instead of just working and not knowing what I am doing. I’m grateful that I have a team of coworkers that care to train you so that you can excel.

My training for this job consisted of two days of watching “training” videos. Then I shadow someone, who clearly didn’t want a shadow, for two hours. Then I was pretty much on my own.

I’m sober curious. I’m also about to help a new non-alcoholic spirit company with their launch.
I have a question for people in recovery. If a brand were to contend that sobriety is a spectrum, or allow for that to a least be part of the conversation, how does that make you feel? Are other brands doing a good job of being inclusive of people who are truly sober?
(I get that NA drinks / spirits can be triggering for people in recovery)
Thank you.
