    #51: About Probationary Periods

    In this episode of Amy Talks, I discuss something that everyone has to go through in a new workplace - a probationary period. Some people pass, and some fail. I talk frankly about my experience of failing my probation twice, and the impact both of these failings had on me. Also find out how I discovered more about how I failed my probation from a podcast that my ex-manager did, than the actual employer themselves 👀 Links mentioned in the show: - Good news story 1: https://www.instagram.com/p/CplnhDvPZAn/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= - Good news story 2: https://www.facebook.com/BeautyStudio.KeliNetwork/videos/620592179804843/ Follow the show on social media!
