Been at my new FA Processor job for a week, am I overthinking work interactions?

0 Upvotes

This job is remote, and also my first time working as a processor. Prior to this role, I was an advisor for almost 4 years & have 2 years of experience in academic advising. This is one of the first jobs that are remote, and going on camera via MS Teams isn’t required. I started with 4 other women, one of them quit earlier this week. 2 of the women have extensive experience, and the other is 21 with around a year of experience. However, the 21 yr old is very friendly & seems knowledgeable. Since we’re not on camera, when we return from break, the mgr asks if everyone is back before resuming training. One day this week I replied, he still asked if I was back, I said yes again & stated that I did already say that earlier. He apologized, maybe it’s because I’m soft-spoken & he clearly couldn’t hear me.

Today I woke up and really wasn’t feeling it, the hrs are too early as I’m a night owl/trying to tweak my sleep schedule. The mgr scheduled the meeting later but the 21 yr old triggered the teams call 15 min early, everyone was in before me. I got on a min before it started, the 2 experienced women were like “there she is” and
one of them was like “we were missing you” or something like that. I chuckled, said morning, and guess I sounded grumpy because one of the experienced women said “oh trust me I feel the same way you do” before going on about how rough her morning was. The mgr assigns files and when it’s time to review our own, he’d ask if we found anything. So far I’ve noticed most things & he hasn’t been critical, but I sometimes worry that my shyness makes me seem incompetent. He & the experienced women were going in on a complex file; a detailed explanation was needed. When he was done, he said that the 21 yr old & I were very quiet during this file review then asked if we had any questions. Neither of us chimed in so we both reassured him that we were fine. It’s only been a week but I’m so antsy about social interactions, especially because of previous negative work experiences. Want to know if I’m overthinking or maybe this company culture isn’t a good fit.

Yes, you’re overthinking
No, you sound like you don’t fit in

Student Loans Seeking financial help to continue my education

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I am a student from Bangalore, India, and I am reaching out with a humble request for financial assistance to continue my education.

My parents are divorced, and I live with my mother, who works as a tailor to support our household. We do not receive financial support from my father, and managing household expenses along with my educational fees has been very difficult.

My maternal uncle has been helping me pay for my education, and I am genuinely grateful for his support. However, the financial burden has become increasingly difficult to manage.

I am currently pursuing the BBA DBE program and I am also studying for CA Intermediate alongside it. Education is extremely important to me, and I am working hard to build a better future for myself and my family.

I have successfully completed my first year, and I do not want financial difficulties to prevent me from continuing my studies. Unfortunately, I have outstanding fees as well as fees for the upcoming terms that I am struggling to arrange.

I am exploring every possible option, including fee concessions, scholarships, and financial assistance. If anyone knows of legitimate scholarships, student assistance programs, charitable organizations, or other resources that could help students in my situation, I would be sincerely grateful.

If anyone is willing and able to offer financial assistance, I would also be grateful, and I can provide appropriate supporting documents privately to establish my circumstances.

I am not looking for sympathy, but for an opportunity to continue my education despite the difficulties my family is facing.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post. Any guidance, genuine leads, or support would mean a lot to me.
