[QUOTE="Box Ox, post: 1834705, member: 48469"] Don't let idiots with small D syndrome get into your head. Chances are they're not well-liked anyway. People tend to avoid rather than confront them because they just want to do their jobs and go home. The "do some work" treatment might come with seeing new hires come and go so often. Some of them just can't handle the work, and that's ok. But while that's determined, the experienced workers have to pick up any slack on top of their already heavy assignments. The only real way to get respect is to do your job as best you can, make your 30, show you're not going anywhere and help coworkers when and where you can. I think most new hires do go through a "What am I doing here?" phase that lasts a few months. I certainly did. Their bodies haven't adjusted and benefits are a year away. It gets better if you're determined to stick with it and hang in there. Only do exactly what's asked of you when you're in your 30 days as best you can. You're not expected to fill in wherever needed until you've been trained. It'll take you more than a few weeks to become truly fast. Takes time. But don't say that to any supervisors who are jawing you while you're in your 30. Just your best. [/QUOTE]
