Wow glad to hear I'm not the only one. I just started a new job 1 month ago. and 3 weeks. I feel as if they too are talking about me in how dumb I am. First, I don't seem to grasp verbal instructions, and any conversations whether in person or on phone, I tend to forget what was said. Also learning tasks step by step is much better but that is not how it is done. I have been trained on a half of a task then they add another task and show me just partial of it, then return to another task. It was like bits and pieces here and there until I was able to put them together, but it made me confuse. As of right now, my supervisor is angry for the mistakes I make and for not grasping oral conversations. People tell me to hang on until a medical test comes back to back up incase I resign. The more I stay there the more I feel so dumb and retarded. Just do your best and meanwhile look for another job that would suit your skills.
