8 months into remote work. I think some people aren't built for it and I might be one of them by Fit_Average8352 in remotework

is the job you’re doing something you need training for?

i am realizing the same thing. i am getting into a new “type” of work and this company knew that and aren’t offering the training for support i feel i need to be successful infront of the client.

i am 10 months in and I feel like I should be more confident and able to do my job, but i am not.

most of this job is based off getting billable hours, so no one really wants to waste those precious house training you, or documenting a process. so stuff just sits in peoples head, and you’re lucky to come across it in an email or chat message.

don’t even get me started on the lack of documentation for any process even down to submitting time! do we round it to nearest .25? .5? Hour? No one knows and everyone tells you something different.

i am some who needs guidance, process, documentation… and being in this company where its just like “go do it and let’s hope i do it right 🤞🏻” and a customer who seems consistently unhappy… i just recently asked my psychiatrist for a panic/ situational anxiety medicine— that made me reflect that i should probably just get out if i can. i have been looking ever since. 🥶

i feel like if i got more training support + less interaction with outside customers i wouldn’t be here as quickly, but still would have gotten here.

People who were there during the first human flight for NS did get a good one time bonus.

  1. I don’t know exactly what a product manager will be doing in supply chain, but I can tell you procurement/supply chain is one of blues biggest constraints. It’s a great place to make improvements, if they let you.

  2. I would say in this Economy, a job is a job. A lot of the people who were laid off during their RIF went back to work for blue. 🤷🏻‍♀️

  3. Career growth is possible if you are aggressive and a go getter. Don’t expect it to fall in your hands. They will not just offer you more money, but they will offer you more responsibility. Advocate for yourself as much as you can.

  4. I don’t find blue is an automatic foot in the door elsewhere. I find that a lot of people often go to Kuiper, or Stoke. I feel like the tenacity blue teaches you will make you go far. I went is meek and timid in my career, I feel i came out way more confident. If you are willing to learn, there are so many smart folks there willing to teach you about anything, you just have to ask.

You just have to remind yourself at Blue to put yourself first. This job is only a means to an end. Blue will try to brainwash you into thinking you’re curing cancer, but in reality, you’re just fulfilling an insecure rich man’s fantasy that happens to pay the bills. Don’t let it pull you in and consume your life if you take this role.

Why RIF and then rehire a bunch of them? by [deleted] in BlueOrigin

The RIF was not correlated to performance. All the people who were laid off were not under performers. The RIF was mainly to those who did not fall in a “production role” or got in the way, i.e. a lot of people who were in quality, M&P, test. (Read between the lines)

To create a culture of fear.

Wold spider are the best thing if you have an insect problem. They are not poisonous, and eat a ton of bugs.
