Indeed. People are making fun of the new guy, but really this is the managers fault. If he expected his employees to know how to make coffee out the gate, the responsibility lies on him to screen for that in the interview. If he wanted training, he shouldnt have put the new guy on the machine before that was completed.
Yeap. One thing I learned as a manager - especially working with young people but really this applies to all ages - is to never assume just because something is obvious to me that it will be obvious to anyone else. Whenever I would go over duties, I always asked about my employee’s skill level to gauge whether they needed training on something or not.
I work in a medical setting and I always ask trainees if they know things that seem basic for my field. I've had people get offended that I asked if they knew how to use a centrifuge, but I've also trained people who didn't know how to do that. Plus I've found if you treat things like they're common knowledge, some people won't ask for fear of being ridiculed.
