I\u2019m 6 months into a new job that uses a technology I\u2019ve had no experience in (but am trying really hard to learn). Often I get tasks that I have real difficulty with. I flag this: I say that I\u2019ve never done that before and I\u2019ll have difficulty. I get some help, but the task always takes way longer than estimated and is done pretty badly. This puts me under a huge amount of stress and is embarrassing as my tasks often get rejected at QA.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m all for learning but its just too much. I need to master things incrementally, not all at once. Or else do a proper course on the subject.<\/p>\n
How can I talk to my boss about this without looking like I\u2019m useless or backing away from challenges?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","question-category":[25],"question_tags":[],"class_list":["post-112","question","type-question","status-publish","hentry","question-category-management"],"yoast_head":"\n
