My boss recently left the company and I am not getting the information from her boss that I need. It is worrisome.
No, I liked my partner.
No, it is really good.
As my coworker and I start to fill her role, I am worried I am not getting all of the information that I need.

I'm sorry. I know how anxious I would feel if I thought I wasn't getting the necessary training to do a job well. Have you talked to your co-worker or your manager about your concerns?

Not yet. They hadn't talked with us prior today. I am worried I do not have a lot of time and I do not want to seem overanxious.

I completely understand how you are feeling. I think that being proactive with management and letting them know your concerns in a positive way could emphasize that you take your job seriously and want to excel.

Thanks. You don't think it seems needy? Or like I'm telling them what to do?

New jobs and roles are always cause for anxiety. Just being concerned shows what a good employee you are. I think they are lucky to have you!

Thanks, that means a lot. Should I email them my concerns or is this a face-to-face meeting?

Honestly, I from my own experience, which doesn't include management, I think it's all about the approach. As long as you are not negative and don't sound like you are complaining or telling them how to do their jobs you should be fine!

I would start with an email. This is just my opinion, but with how busy they must be getting people up to speed with training, an email is always a great place to start.

Thanks. I don't want to seem passive aggresssive, and I care about how I am perceived so that is a good idea.

Have confidence in yourself as well! Chances are, others are struggling too.

Thank you. I have tried to talk with others in the district to see how they are doing and most are ok.

Again, at the risk of being repetitive, it's all about the tone! I recently underwent group training. It was online since we are all working virtually. There were a couple of "whiners and know-it-alls" and you could tell from the start. You don't seem that way at all!

Thank you. I try to be part of a larger team and I hope they can see that. I just want to do what is best for the organization.

Good luck! I'm certainly not an expert, but honestly wanting to perform your job well is a positive trait and the sign of a leader. Focus on yourself! You sound like someone that any good manager would want on their team.

Keep up the great work! Good luck, and start with a short email. That's my advice anyways, but do what feels right. Have a great night!
