I want to inquire from all those who have experience being in a new role.
Background: Hired for new position, three days in, they might as well be talking in another language.
Plus with COVID restrictions, working from home as a new employee is disorientating.
I do not understand the company specific terminology and lingo. I have the required experience for the role, which was listed as 1-2 years experience.

How much do I “bug” people to get up to speed?

In my other positions, I gained knowledge over time, and strategically asked senior members for help/advice or simply absorbed it by being around.

What worries me about this new position is that the senior member is retiring in 1 week and keeps saying umatrix is taking over this. I do not know what “this” is

Looking forward to your thoughts
