It was very stressful my first six months but I stuck it out and eventually got settled in. Don’t know if I’ll retire here but I don’t plan on leaving anytime soon.
the first 6 months with any company is stressful and takes time to settle in. most managers already know this and they're watching to see if you make it. anyone who gives you an interview -should- know this and they're asking you questions and checking your resume looking for "grit." grit is a persons ability to continue to go to work daily even though shit sucks and they hate it. a person with a high level of grit will work for them for a year or two at least, through the good and bad times, through the bullshit. by then, they're a regular full time guy in a long term plan. that's the employee everyone wants. i dont know anything about XPO. i hope they're a good company and i hope you're doing good now.
