Hello,
After all is said on the board and with due respect to every contributor, I have to say this:
1) Identify the focal point of your problem/situation.
Granted, this is your first job, granted also, that you are working with an IT firm, just tell me what was discussed during your interview! Has any job profile been issued? Have your performance indicators been issued to you?
2) It could be a problem involving ineffective/wrong communication. Expectations from you have either not been made clear or you are expected to write your own charter. If it is a new/start up company, perhaps the bosses themselves are unclear about expectations from HR. I suggest, you make your job profile and get it approved from your seniors. This would help you in performance, communication, action orientation and also the performance appraisals! If you need help on this"job profile" kindly search the this site. Sometime ago I had posted a representative "job profile" for HR. If you are unable to get it send me private message on the board and I will send the same to you!
3) Frustration in your situation is understandable but not acceptable, if you are committed to move forward. It is generally the lack of clarity in relationships, mutual expectations, hazy conceptual frame work on the part either or both about the function, absence of a dialogue in the real sense. I say this because I have experienced many times that people talk much but are unable to communicate. Get the difference?
Think about the contents oft his mail and if you need to communicate further, you are welcome but in life, you will do well to focus on the solutions rather than on the problems!
