Also every person I worked with typically made a serious mistake within 3 months. Initially they start and are being trained and closely monitored. Then eventually they are determined to be good enough they don't need more training. They want to do a good job, impress their boss and Co-workers so the pay close attention to everything they do. They have daily to-do lists everyday to ensure they don't miss anything. They double and triple check everything. Then around the 2 month mark they start to believe they know what they are doing, they got this, it's easy, all that stuff was a waste and they could do this while talking with a friend about their weekend plans. Then they make a stupid mistake, click a wrong button, forget to do a step, put something upside down etc. As a result they mess something important up, company losses money, co-workers are mad because they have to do extra work to make up for the mistake, boss is mad. Hopefully that's all that happens, in certain roles or certain industries it could cause death or massive loss of money or legal consequences. A good employee then starts recalibrating how much attention they need to pay and develop new habits to prevent repeating the mistake. Somewhere around the fifth month they get the right idea and are benefiting the team. Then you quit at 6 months and all that time and money spent on you is now wasted.
