in a way it is. I am in a new job and my manager/trainer noted that i need to write things down more. Immediately I had 2 reactions at once, and neither of them I could really vocalize in the moment because it would sound like I was making an excuse, so I had to sit there and scream internally.
first, this is a computer heavy job so if i’m busy navigating menus, I don’t really have time to stop and take notes and second, because of the free form nature of the training, how the ever loving hell am I going to keep all of this disparate information parsed and organized if I did?? Additionally, I’m sure that the costumers I will need to deal with wouldn’t be too forgiving about a guy spending minutes at a time flipping though notes to do “simple data entry.” It’s stupendously disheartening and terrifying.
