Please keep in mind that when you're learning a lot of new tasks, simple and easy tasks may fall by the wayside.

Jan 17, 2014 at 18:30 comment added apaul @AmyBlankenship I've tried to do that in some situations, but some of the things he does are a little too obvious to be able to question lead without coming across as condescending. As in "When you empty a box of product, do you see an advantage to leaving the empty box on the floor rather than throwing it away?"
Jan 17, 2014 at 18:21 comment added Amy Blankenship Something that doesn't come easily to me but I've read about :)... Try asking questions that lead the supervisor to correct himself instead of correcting him. "What would happen if you did it this other way instead?" or "When I showed you how to do this, we did this like X. You did it like Y. What advantage do you see in doing it like Y? Did you think about Z?"
