Ever been asked question after question by a new coworker? (jobs, pay)

Like most people, you are poor at training.
You should be helping your new co-worker so she can become self sufficient.

A person learns by asking questions.

Has anyone else been in this situation of being asked questions all day?

Grasshopper, Grasshopper, a question such as this from you sounds SO idiotic when you really do take the cake in asking the same questions over and over again and apparently without ever learning anything at all from the responses. Now you know how many CD contributors feel about your questions ....

That's true but 2 questions not 20-lol Just saying she should spread them out OR ask different people and not the same person.

When I started I learned things by

1. Observing and Taking Notes
2. Being an active Listener and taking notes
3. Asking questions but to different people not the same coworker.
4.Reading my Traning Manual that is also available to the New lady.

Your job must be really boring to come up with this crap.

that's true, so what I should have said is:


Your life must be really boring to come up with this crap.

Don't be rude dude.

If you are a supervisor or have some superiority. You need to set her straight by having a discussion. Let her know to relax and that there is a learning curve and that she has a time window to be trained.

The co-worker wasn't properly informed during orientation and that is why she asks so many questions. You can blame management for that. She got the idea that she had to know everything right away for some weird reasons.

Be a man and manage it.

Are you her superior? You need to make these 4 guidelines available to her. Say it in a nice way.

And where in the heck is the manager above you? Doesn't he do anything? Or does he waste time sitting around chomping down on twinkies and candy.

This is one of those situations that can escalate into a major problem. You can thank poor management skills for that one.

Of course the other possibility is that she fancies you, Grasshopper ...
