I have given my problem a lot of thought...
Is the problem with me being ever impatient?
Or, is it that I am just being a drama queen?
I had a one of those short in-the-hallways chat with an older (and wiser) colleague at work.
She had asked how I was coping and if I had any issues with the job.
I was appreciative that someone cared...
I then told her that the job was very boring and mundane, and had asked if the job would get more interesting.
She then laughed at me... apparently this happens to just about everyone who just starts out at Commonwealth Bank.
I advised to tough it out for a few weeks and then to re-evaluate things.
I was told to wait for the IT guys to sort out my login problems and for the floor management to source me some proper desk space.
The job will then get progressively difficult/interesting as the team will then properly begin some training with me on the procedures.
She told me, that from her experience, this is considered a nice and safe place to work.
The pay and benefits are reasonable and the fact that there is job security at banks.
She had alluded that the team manager is a very nice guy and looks after everyone in the team.
And, the team is good, friendly and you have a good mix of personalities from the car nuts and the older office ladies.
Wish we had some cute girls on the floor to give fresh scenery at times...
She said to stay and try to fit in...
And, after a period you will then be able to move up the ranks.
