Nervous....
I started this week and my new co workers are excited that I have experience. One thing I'm afraid is that I don't want to ask to many questions because I got laid off 3 months ago for asking to many questions.
Ive a small biz. If a worker asked me questions (related to our job) it would indicate to me he/she is eager to learn & had the potential to become an excellent employee. On the other hand if an employee repeatedly asked me the very same questions i would n turn question their ability to comprehend. If ur former employer let u go bc u asked questions out of enthusiasm to learn ur job, they lost a good worker. Remember the old saying: The only DUMB question is one not asked. Good luck n ur new job!
I have all ways been the Boss and a good Boss wants questions !
I think you got canned because you got on someone's nerves.really think about it. Somebody ask you something about work you're not gonna instantly as you're fired. But if they just keep on and keep on over and over ask it.well the easiest thing to say is you're fired.just pay attention watch for the signs.you'll be ok
Questions are never a bad thing because I've never met a person in my lifetime who knows it all and if you're initiative is to try and keep or make the company more successful then no one should have a problem. Having said that, you hire people to make decisions to certain levels based on their experience and the cost of potential liability. Be confident in your abilities. Don't know if your company has procedures that should be followed but if they do follow them at the start and as you grow into the position you could make recommendations for better processes. I'd rather have an employee properly trained (which is key) make a decision than have to come to me all of the time but that's assuming I've put in the effort on the front end to give them the knowledge they need to perform.
Lucky you I have been searching and searching and no responding. Asking questions is good you'll be fine
Good luck! I'm sure you'll be fine. That's actually a really stupid reason to let someone go anyway.
Chris. . It is only normal to ask questions, if you are newly assigned to a job. Your manager or supervisor should be delighted that you want to learn how to do the job in the most productive and effective way. I would suggest that you let your manager or supervisor know about your concerns and express that you are only trying to learn the job so you can do it the right way.
Wishing You the Best ...VKL
