He is feeling at sea

He was feeling a little clueless. New in the system, he was trying to work his way around the issues and understand the processes. However, he was feeling little at sea as noone seemed to be helping him out. People assigned him a task and became hands-off. He did not ask for spoon-feeding but initial hand-holding is something that is not an unjustified expectation. People question him about the decisions that they made before he entered the scene. People say that they will help with certain things but they do not. You can ask a few questions but everything is questionable. He has never hesitated from asking questions but over here he has to ask questions about everything and the answers may reflect the lack of common sense on the part of the people around him. He is feeling at sea especially with no one to discuss his woes......
