This was such a good piece. Thanks for sharing. At my previous company, I showed genuine interest to learn new skills by completing courses and working on making a website. However, I was completely ignored. I was even once told why I was completing courses in my free time! I asked if I had done anything wrong at work. They failed to come up with any example. I think I was played with. It was not a nurturing environment at all. How do you try to foster a good relationship with a manager who simply doesn't care about someone in their staff?
I've never heard of "probation"... is that a UK thing where people are tried out for a few months before the company fully commits to them?
In the US you can just fire people at any time so I suppose we're on 24/7 probation ;).
