If this new hire doesn’t shape up, she’s going to lose that brand-new job. Imagine fumbling the ball that badly!
They say you get one chance to make a first impression, and there are few times in life when that’s more important than your first weeks at a new gig. If a company has just hired you, you should probably be acting happy to be there, ready to learn, and eager to get to know how the team operates. You’re learning where you fit into the bigger picture of the company. During this period, you’re supposed to be getting to know your coworkers, and you’re still freshly excited to have this new job.
That’s why this new hire’s behavior is so baffling to their coworker, u/Striking-Quiet_. They’re tasked with training her before they leave their senior associate role. But for some reason, the new hire is acting weirdly hostile towards them. It’s not like the original poster is going to be their competition, right? This worker expressed their frustration at the situation, and commenters told them some great ways they could deal with this hostile coworker.
After that, read about the funniest times people forgot words and just made up new ones, like the guy who "couldn’t remember groomsmen, went with dudesmaids instead."
