I’m 7 months new to a company and I’m struggling in one aspect of a weekly task.
Three of my coworkers made it easier to understand but my boss told me I need to train with another coworker that I’m just not understanding and very different than my other trainer have directed me on. In my decades of working, Ive never felt so upset and stupid. I’ve talked to my boss several times and even worked with someone else before my training today. She said it was all wrong. It’s a terrible feeling.

Is anyone else experiencing a long delay in receiving unemployment???
I live in NY and applied for unemployment in early April. It’s been over 6 weeks and I still haven’t received a payment. I’ve gone to the DOL building trying to get answers but all they say is it’s in process. I submitted all my paperwork and severance docs so nothing is missing. Super frustrated and…

I would sit the boss down and let her know how you learn new things, be specific about what you are stuck on and how you are getting differing direction from the folks she sent you to. If that does not help seek out your HR business partner and ask them to help you get past this hump.
Everyone learns differently. For example some folks are visual learners and need to see someone else do it before they can. Others read manuals, etc. Don't beat yourself up about this give yourself time to absorb and learn.

Thank you. I’ve had these conversations weekly. I also spoke with our director and she advised not to stress, it’s less than 5% weeks f our job. She was great and said there’s a simplified checklist I can use and I’m already spending too much time on this task. It was a great conversation… then came Friday, with a meeting with the same co-worker trainer. It’s like nails on a chalkboard for me and my requests have fallen on deaf ears.
