New people act the same
I’ve been noticing a pattern with new people at work. When they first start, they’re super excited and full of questions. They want to know everything and seem really driven, which is always nice to see. But after a few weeks, that energy fades. They start slipping longer breaks, less focus and it usually gets worse fast. At that point, they either get let go or they decide for themselves if they actually care about the job. I’m all for asking questions early on, but I think the biggest part of learning is just showing up every day and sticking with it. Doing the work regularly is what really helps. Just wondering, have you found a way to stop this kind of dropoff? How do you keep people going once the new job excitement fades?
