I Pretended to Understand a Job for Weeks… and No One Noticed

r/

I started a new job, and from day one, I had no idea what I was doing. The training was rushed, and instead of asking questions, I just nodded along, Googled everything, and copied what others were doing. Somehow, I survived for weeks without anyone realizing. Now, I actually understand the job, but I still feel like I tricked my way in. I still don’t know if I should be proud or ashamed.

    idk why you would be ashamed of this, learning on the job is a normal way to figure something out. Unless you’re an air traffic controller or work in medicine lol

    Proud. So insanely proud. This is an excellent skill that I would sell my soul to have.

    Look, there’s a learning curve at Taco Bell and very few people know the ropes when they join up. Good on you for sticking with it.

    If you were able to do this, you belong. You’re smart and innovative and they need people like you. You’re not the imposter.

    As long as you are getting the job done that you were hired to do, just go with it. You are earning your pay. That is what really matters.
