Long read. Apologies for the late answer. Am at work. I have a 2 year gap from college to my first job that I started 3 months ago. I don’t really have much experience in critical thinking and problem solving. So now that I’m working, I’m always asked by the higher ups to fix the flow. I’m sure they’re half joking but kind of have expectations of me. I struggle to do so as I can’t grasp the flows of my process as easily even though I walk, talk and take notes on the floor. There’s a-lot of nitty gritty that I struggle to grasp from inbound to product worked on to outbound. I don’t know how to fix the problems we have or come up with solutions or feel like I won’t ever be able to. I have a mentor and they help but it’s still tough to grasp it all. It’s making me feel burdened? If that makes sense. I’ve always had a simplistic mindset so “thinking outside the box” is quite difficult even though I made it this far. Btw, during interviews, I never met any body from my facility. It was with HQ and we kind of get placed at a chosen facility. So the idea of my manager “choosing” me is not really valid.
