Why don’t you just answer the question. Yes, I would, of course, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to automate it in the first place. It’s just faster and more accurate this way.
Edit: I hope this doesn’t come across as callous, but I don’t think that talking about your brain in this context is productive or even relevant. You were hired to do that job, so you need to do it well enough. If you need accommodation to be able to do it well, then you should request it and they should provide it. But to put the manager’s concerns to rest, you will eventually need to show good performance. At the meeting, if you can, first show evidence that your results improved, the tool you used to get there is secondary (unless it’s only discussed as a future plan).
Thanks, that's very straightforward. I think my self confidence has been absolutely battered and I'm just a bit worn out and unsure of myself now.
Sorry to hear that, and that the job didn’t work out as you hoped. Why are you resigning? Is the environment and the management bad for you otherwise?
I moved from a marketing role (5 years experience) to a more heavy administrative role (new), even though marketing was in the job description. Marketing turned out to have a much smaller share of the tasks I would undertake daily.
I have to work on tasks for 3 different managers, so the management depending was quite different.
The marketing manager was the nicest and was very considerate of my time dedicated to other tasks and tried their best to give me interesting work assignment opportunities. They are by far the happiest with my output, and had no complaints besides having had to chase up a couple times.
The manager I worked with the least kind of outlined the tasks for say, preparing for an event, but mostly expected me to know what they wanted from the general outline, or expected me to ask my main manager, since they previously did the work.
Main manager was the toughest - I worked with them on day to day the most. They'd show me a thing once with a high expectation of me doing it right after, so they didn't tend to check until major issues popped up. They just moved up from my role to being a manager, so didn't understand how to manage really.
The environment wasn't terrible, but I didn't feel like I would be supported if I was struggling or in a bad place (which, I wasnt). They put me on a PIP 3 months into a 6 month probation for a 1 year short term contract.
