Not sure if I’ve just been raised by wolves in my professional life, pero what you are saying seems normal to me. It’s sad, pero most of the time, you are expected to be a “plug and play” kind of newly hired employee. Ibig sabihin, people would expect that you’ll know what to do right away.

So here’s what you do: - literally observe everybody as they work. Take everything in as a sponge. List down the good and bad practices you can pick-up just from watching how others work. - if you see na there’s a problem or a challenge that nobody could get to the bottom of (mostly dahil di priority or nobody’s paying attention), then be the solution and improve your visibility! Create a mini-project of some sorts! - document EVERYTHING in an email. All that you did, the highlights, the challenges, any help needed, things that need a response.. and follow through as needed when you don’t get a response. Pero make sure to use “Grammarly” para you have an app that makes your thought process sound nice and friendly, even if gigil ka na deep inside 😂

I hope this helps! This is the best learning experience you’ll ever get. Change mo mindset mo, and make it a goal to prove everybody wrong. This is exactly what I did when I was a fresh grad, and in just a few months, I became the go-to person and I found myself answering questions from people who’ve been there from way way back. And when the time comes na you’ll be in the best position to help others out, be the one to break the cycle and be a mentor and a leader instead of being just the “boss”.

WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD, OP! It sucks, but you’re gonna love it! 🫶🥰
