i am a new hire at my current job with about 1.5yrs experience. all of my experience (including current job) has been in desktop support. my job is to assist the Sys Admin (basically do all the work he doesn’t want to do) …which i don’t mind)and to eventually ACT in his place when he’s not here. there is alot of information to soak up here and i’m eager to learn, but it seems that he (Sys Admin) doesn’t want to teach me. he gives me jobs to do and when they aren’t done in 5 mins. he completes them. i don’t expect him to tell me EVERYTHING but i do expect him to tell me and show me what i need to know in order for me to do my job. my question(s) is/are 1)how can i learn and grow when he wants to do everything and not leave anyhting for me to do? 2) how do i confront him in a PROFESSIONAL, way? AND 3)if this continues what steps should i take to get around this situation?
