What I don't understand from this article is why the author didn't reach out to his team members in his first job. Maybe she did and just didn't write about it. I've never seen a team or been part of a team though that would not offer help to a new team member. Especially one that needed coaching or even teaching if need be. If the team was that not accepting of a new member, it's an issue with the team and not the new team member and should be addressed.
