I feel like I committed some atrocity!

Welcome to the real world. 90 Days probation you are getting it easy. I changed jobs a year ago I had 6 months probation and I have been working for 30 years. So you ignore it and get on doing what you like best, hopefully work.
Think on the bright side, you can also quit without notice during these 90 days, so the company is on probation too. Life is not so unfair after all.

You know what freaks me out most about the ‘probation period’? That you’re being watched without noticing who’s watching you and who’s not. You get tested indirectly when you least expect it, not only by senior managers but also by employees at your level. That doesn’t mean you cant be who you are, be so and show confidence, but try and hold your tongue if you see something you dont like until probation is over! At least that’s the tip I’ve been given by almost everyone before I started my new job (People here are not very accepting and not eager to embrace change so am not sure if they’ll put up with feedback coming from NEW employees, am sure its different in the West).. well, I’m currently in probation too
Glad you love your job, ENJOY it

Me…I thing my current probation will last for 3 years. Lucky you. :p

But hey…you got free coffee and programming software? What more can you ask right? :p

Probation or Fixed Term till approved next if always great.
I suggest: Nothing great than ones own work if possible.

Congrats on your job!
Yep, my place has 6 months probation on all positions (I started 4 years ago)- I think the place before this had the same. Thankfully, they aren’t too strict about things; the main thing was that I couldn’t take vacation until after 6 months.
Don’t stress about it, just smile and do good work, which I’m sure you do anyways!

The place I work has a six month probation. From what I heard they usually let you know one or two months before the probation is up regarding whether you are a good fit or not. If you are not a good fit then it essentially gives you two months of time to look for something else. So probation is not always a bad thing.

I know what you mean. Isn’t it unbelievable?

The last place I worked had a ninety day. The only people I had ever seen that didn’t make it were complete idiots.I was there for 28 years.

They realized after two weeks that I am an expert at what I do!

Show off!

I figured it would be fine. Usually “probation” is a formality, IMHO.

@Meyrick Kirby

Not necessarily. Maybe she kindda sensed that they need her there ’cause of the good work she provides. She has the right to feel good about herself.

Last time I had a job, I used to go whenever I like, leave whenever I like and stay home whenever I like too. They only gave me hints when I overdo it, but never deducted from my salary or gave a real warning because they NEEDED me and there was no one else there who can provide same quality. Not because they LOVED me.

Now THAT’S a show off! see?

Yes, yes, blame it on your star-sign

@Mystery

I’m not sure you’ve quite cottoned onto where I’m coming from

We’ve lived the life of self-employed musicians, writers and subcontractors for so long, we have no idea what a real job means, let alone probation.

But now that you mention free coffee, we might need to rethink our current status.

I feel like I committed some atrocity!

Perhaps you have Maybe you’ve axe-murdered someone in your sleep. Have you ever woken up in the morning with blood on your hand? Or maybe you have a split personality, and your other half is a serial killer. Do you have empty gaps in your memory, find yourself in strange place and can’t remember how you got there?
