So I was called into the boss’ office where he told me that I am not as enthusiastic with the job as I first started last year.
He asked me questions like whether I liked the role or not. He also stated that it seems like I am not mixing well with the team because I am too quiet and not having enough conversations, therefore he is not confident to give me clients to deal with.
I told him I always ask questions when I need help, say hi or bye everyday. However, apparently no one heard when I say hi or bye but I guess it is my fault for not speaking up. So I will fix that because that is common courtesy.
But really, I don’t understand the issue with not talking to coworkers because I just want to do my work and feel that I don’t need to prove I can talk to them in order to deal with clients. I do talk to clients fine because I am aware it is part of my job to build client relationships.
I also told my boss, that I am reserved also the youngest in age and experience in the office. I don’t know whether that is valid or not but one thing for sure is that I don’t have trouble communicating. In fact, I am friends with most people from the other department and we even hang out after work. But now, I am getting in trouble for hanging around there too much and wasting their time. The reality is I do talk to them more than the office people but I literally only see them for no more than 5 minutes a day…
Can I get some opinions please
