I’ve recently started a new job too and have heard more or less a similar phrase along the lines of ‘you’ll pick this up/you have picked this up already/this will become second nature/you’re getting there’.:.and like you I feel comforted by this gently encouraging attitude. It gives me faith that I too can become confident and good at my new responsibilities. I And I think the approach from work ‘mentors’ really does make you feel welcomed and positive about the job and your new relationships with colleagues.

I hope you are uplifted and getting ‘your groove’ at work @Delilah. It’ll come I’m sure
