In a pickle at the new job
Hi fellas, so I've started this new role as ITAD sales executive and I've been feeling extremely grateful as i landed this job after 2 months of job search and I found it to be right up my alley. Although, I didn't have any tech experience to begin with, but I thought I'll quickly catch up by learning fast. However, It's been like 6 weeks and I haven't been learning by heart and the manager seems to be really unhappy with me. We're a team of just 4 people and none of us has yet closed any lead, but it seems like he doesn't like me specifically because I've been late a couple of times, took a sudden leave, been "inconsistent on calls" according to him.
To add insult to injury, because my mind seeks certainty all the time, I went up to him today asking to have a conversation and started with "I'm gonna be completely honest and authentic in this conversation with you, I'm afraid of losing the job" to which he responded that I'm not performing well that's why I have the fear and upon asking about his honest take on whether I'll make it, he said honestly? You won't.
Anyway, that was a long conversation and I stayed positive all along. But he seems to be disapproving of me and just gave me this week to prove myself. Is this really fair? Should I ask for more time? Am I really gonna get fired this soon? What should I do?
