[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Currently managing 3 new hires. New hire A is awesome - caught on quickly, understands what needs to be done and is up on everything - great ideas and a ton of energy understands the new culture and best practices and has made a huge leap from her previous role to this one easily and efficiently. New hire B, is smart and does her job well [b]but has isolated herself and hasn't tried to learn the culture of the department[/b] or worked on understanding what has been done, best practices currently in place etc. I like her personally but feel she could have done more to fit in and ask more questions not just go rogue on the department without checking in first. New Hire C is a fun and energetic personality who is not detail oriented and tends to be  very impulsive but asks a ton of questions and always acknowledges when she has made a mistake but keeps on making them. Of the three new hires C was the one that was stretch to hire - so far she is the one I'm most worried about and see as the one that we will let go. So sometimes things just aren't a good fit - I would say have your options open, talk with your supervisor and try to work towards improving and understanding your role but also realize it might be the job for you.[/quote]

I'm wondering how much of this is fitting into the department socially, navigating cliques and building relationships.  I agree that these things are important, but can be more difficult for some people if they are in a different age bracket than the powerful cliques in a workplace, or are an introvert, of a different race/ethnicity, etc.  Sometimes the cliques just won't accept a new person no matter what they try to do.[/quote]
+ Excellent point. She might not be isolating as much as she is being isolated. [/quote]
