3 days in at the new place and my boss and the company staff have nothing but praise for my performance. In the morming on my second day, I had some requests for product prices and some new formulas for their car wash ready to go. I’ve been at two washes so far, improving their lines and getting feedback on what to develop.
My boss quipped to some staff near by “Woah guys, my new chemist is trying to get something done after just one day!”. And I immediately responded with “I know! You gave me a WHOLE DAY.” And naturally everyone was impressed and practically handed me the keys to the place. It’s funny, this is a much smaller shop and they had financial issues lately but they really seem to respect and understand why I’m there and everyone seems eager to help.
I can’t quite describe it but....I almost feel like I’m bringing hope to the place. I certainly have big shoes to fill but apparently I exceeded everyone’s wildest expectations.
It’s stressful and tiring but I think once the first week teething issues are done it will be the first good week of many.

Sounds like you’ve got the dream situation: interesting problems to solve, the organizational space to be able to focus on solving them, and recognition and appreciation for solving them. Glad it’s working out so well!

Only in the past two weeks. The new job has helped out a ton. Old job was just so dead end despite everything suggesting otherwise. I much prefer this type of career path.

It’s not bad, all things considered. It looks like my job will get a bit easier in a few months and go from developing car wash soaps to managing car washes and then hopefully owning/running a few of my own. Either that or owning/running the division I work for.
