When finding myself in some new situation professionally, or even semi-professionally, I try to make a model of what I would expect. How things are supposed to be handled etc. What to expect from my own role, but also what I think I can expect from others. I then validate against my model during interactions and of course the mental model needs to be adjusted due to lack of understanding... But when the people you're expected to work with don't even seem to be having a working model and just randomly seem to do things the way that suits them, is it normal to be agitated? Or am I expecting too much rigidness in processes?
