[quote=Anonymous]Question for folks- when you have a new coworker join your team, how much do you help that person get up to speed? Situation- new coworker will be at same level, I already have a social relationship with person at work (internal transfer), large gap in experience between the two of us (good for that person, for me- took step back career wise for work life balance.) our performance will be based by being compared against one another. By nature, I always want to help and do the right thing by the company and make it easier for the new person. When I look back at my career, I wonder if all my niceness has given others an advantage over me as I get them up to speed and at times is perceived the new person is a quick learner vs I'm a good teacher. I'm contemplating taking a different approach and minimally assisting in getting person up to speed and see how the person does on their own (and the person will probably do awesome anyway).

In similar situations, do you normally stick your neck out to get the person going or just keep out of it?  My boss hasn't explicitly asked for me to mentor or get person up to speed. [/quote]
