Hello, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We regret that you didn't receive the support you needed, and as a result, you were unable to perform your work effectively. Learning on the job, as well as self-learning are methods that are very much encouraged in our organization; however, this goes hand in hand with a supportive environment and available leaders to provide guidance and enable success. We take all feedback seriously and will use this as an opportunity to improve. Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts. We wish you all the best. Your DHL Team
