What I wish was different
Communication about when I had actually been hired/what I was committing to wasn't quite clear at the beginning, and there were some expectations that weren't explicitly laid out from the start. Part of this was probably because I already knew my employers personally, so perhaps they thought I already understood things from my prior knowledge of them outside the workplace. As a new employee in a very new kind fo work environment, though, it might have been helpful to have expectations with regard to communication and scheduling put in writing for me at the outset, but my employers were very responsive to feedback on this issue, so I'm not left "wishing it could have been different". Instead, I'm actively working with my employers to improve the situation for all of us, which is great!
