How many questions are too many when you’re new and the instructions keep changing?
Career / WorkI typed “Sorry, one more question” and then deleted “Sorry.” I put it back.
I’m in my second week booking rooms for a training company. The guide says to use the small room for groups under twelve. Yesterday my supervisor moved an eleven-person course into the large room because it included a demonstration table. Today there’s another eleven-person course with equipment listed, but no table mentioned.
I could make a guess. I could ask the supervisor, who is already answering several questions from me each morning. She’s patient, though yesterday she said I should “start trusting myself.”
I want to become useful without turning every variation into a request for permission. I also don’t want to book the wrong room just to prove I’m independent.
What would you ask here? More broadly, how do you learn which decisions a new person can make and which ones need checking?
