High turnover in the workplace can create an atmosphere of uncertainty, making it challenging for new employees to establish trust with their colleagues. Perhaps there's been a recent string of departures, and people are hesitant to invest in a new team member, only to see them leave again.

I've had similar experiences in workplaces with high staff turnover. It's not uncommon for new employees to feel like they're starting from scratch, trying to build relationships with colleagues who may be wary of getting close.

I've also encountered situations where the team is already close-knit, and the new employee is seen as an outsider. In these cases, it's essential to demonstrate your value and find ways to contribute to the team's dynamics.

While it's not exclusive to New York City, people in the city can be very friendly in initial interactions. However, it's essential to establish genuine relationships by doing excellent work, being reliable, and showing up consistently. Over time, your colleagues will come to appreciate your contributions.

It's worth considering that your colleagues may have been working together for a longer period than you've been with the company. Unless this affects your ability to perform your job, it's best to lower your expectations about how quickly they'll warm up to you.
