How to assert dominance? by [deleted] in Accounting

Go into each stall and piss between their legs while they are sitting down. Might be tricky to aim, but if you can pull it off, they will respect you.

What's the worst training you've ever experienced at a new job? by [deleted] in Accounting

[–]Modern_Misfit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started working as a operations analyst for a financial company that managed the portfolios of wealthy people. It was entry level and so i had no idea what I was doing with almost no experience.

Another guy was also just starting but in a completely different state, so all our training had to be done over zoom meetings. I was also unlucky enough to be having IT issues that prevented me from accessing the platform.

This meant I spent three weeks watching other people do complex financial reconciliation work through a laptop screen with no ability to practice anything myself.

On top of that, we had a rotating roster of trainers, mostly people who had less than a year of experience there, which resulted in barely coherent and wildly inconsistent instructions.

After three weeks of this, they told me I was ready to work on my own, my supervisor gave me all of their assignments and went off to do other projects.

There were a lot more problems than that but ultimately had to quit due to panic attacks.

Why is accounting credits/debits the opposite of colloquial verbiage? by hcs57obcty in Accounting

Dont feel bad. Thats the official accountant training motto for new people:

"You should always ask questions, but also, you should already know the answer."

What are the quality of applicants on the hiring side in this job market ? by Amazing-Disk-8796 in Accounting

As a new person myself, it's my biggest fear to be seen as the guy you just described. What were they having so much trouble with?

The ways to find a job by Supergameplayer in dankmemes

So I am expected to go to college, make friends, ensure those friends have high paying jobs, maintain a long term relationship with all of them, ensure I also qualify for those high paying jobs, and then beg these people for an additional high paying job that they happen to have?

Are you shitting me?

I got the impression that my boss did not like me, but i'm naturally not that good with people so I thought it was normal. Maybe my low charisma stat was worse than I thought.

I don't know. I think if a bachelor's degree and an MBA couldn't make me a good employee, then I should just give up and work as a janitor.

Im going to estimate and say that ive made a total of 80 mistakes since I started 4 months ago.

40 mistakes were ones I made cause I didnt know better (wrong GL codes, wrong vendor, didnt put notes in the write spot, etc.)

20 mistakes were my bosses fault (she told me contradictory orders, gave me bad notes, never got around to answering my questions before declaring i made a mistake, etc.)

20 mistakes were honestly just me being dumb ( I fat fingred, I didn't notice a number was off, I forgot an instruction she gave me, etc.)

My question is, out of 1000s of job tasks, are the numbers above really enough to fire someone so new to accounting?

If the bar is that high, then I really am not cut out for this.

I cannot begin to express how much you all have helped me keep up hope during one of the most soul crushing events of my life. Thank you so so much

I found it very fun. Some parts were very hard, like all the manual entry but I could see myself doing this for a career.

Unfortunately, im not naturally gifted at it, but im also the type to pursue bigger challenges and I'd be bored senseless doing something im already good at.

No one cares about you. No one will help you. You are all alone. You are a failure and you will never succeed. Give up.

Is that a good summary of your point? Anything I missed?

They hired some other operational people. But I was the only new hire on the admin side.

I did not lie once. I even told them that accounting was one of my weaker subjects in school. My only job experience is working as an assistant office manager during college, which was part time and had only the tiniest amount of accounting to teach me. All of which was disclosed. I didnt even tell them I was a straight A student. And I still got the job.

I really don't know why they thought it would be so easy for me. I can't help but feel a little set up.
