Give yourself time to stop expecting the habits of your former workplace.

CREATIVITY

WHAT THIS MEANS

Every workplace trains you in small automatic assumptions: how fast people reply, who decides, what a meeting means, when it is safe to disagree. Those reflexes do not resign when you do. In a new place they misfire quietly, and what looks like friction with the job is often just old habits arriving where they no longer apply.

Give it a few months and expect the confusion rather than reading it as a bad fit. When something feels wrong, ask whether it is wrong or merely different. Watch how people here do the same thing first.
