Or my thoughts…

Hmmm… let’s say.

You’ve been working at this company, which has been around for more
than a decade. IT has a discerned reputation of service excellence, and
there you are…

The new guy, who’s been around for quite awhile, but haven’t handled any project.

Till one day, the time arrived for the project to start. Then it turned
out to not be a simple project. It was somewhat unique, advanced, and
certainly way beyond what the new guy has done before.

After a couple months of slow progress, the pace began to increase, but
unfortunately the progress wasn’t fitting to his superior’s
expectations.

Well… in one side, the new guy didn’t receive any proper guidance
from his superiors… they expected him to learn by himself and if
necessary, from his peers. Easier said than done, if the environment
was supportive. But then again, the guy was working in a new division
separated from what his peers were doing.

T’ant pis (French for: Too bad; So much the worse).

Fortunately, the new guy is later partnered with a more experience
worker who recently moved into the company. After strong disappointment
from the management above, it was decided that the experienced worker
would be in charge handling the new project while the new guy would
simply assist him.

Is there any sense where this story is heading?
