AskABoss: 'I’m concerned that the company loved me during the interview process but are now disappointed in me, although I have no real feedback indicating this'
I was laid off from my sales job due to COVID and then scored my “dream job” at another start-up as an account manager. I was so proud and excited to start this newish career path, and felt qualified, but also that I was going to learn so much. And I am.
I’m concerned that the company loved me during the interview process but are now disappointed in me, although I have no real feedback indicating this. I’m not going to hit my upcoming goals, but the company also understands they created those targets based on unreliable data, and my entire team is in the same boat.
That said, is it possible that you’re not very good at the job? Sure, it’s possible. That happens. But it’s also possible that you’re doing absolutely fine and are exactly where your boss would expect you to be at this point. This job might be one that takes longer to master than other positions you’ve had. You haven’t been there quite six months yet, and a lot of jobs take right around six months to even start feeling comfortable.
If your manager seems like a reasonable and supportive person, you could also ask for more coaching on the pieces of the job that you’re struggling with most. There’s no reason you can’t say, for example, “I’m new to doing strategic planning for accounts of this size.
