A comment on Ask HN: Early in career – is it a bad idea to change jobs after six months?. Parent comment
Learning to do what you are told by your manager is an important skill at the start of your career and some people find it hard to learn.
I once had a new employee at the start of his career and he simply could not bring himself to do as he was told to do.
After his first 8 weeks or so I said “you’ve got a week to start doing what you’re asked or you’re fired”.
He started doing what he was asked and became a star employee.
