I can't believe the expectations that others place on someone in a new job. I started a new job recently and was expected to know the whole routine, what to do and jump in with both feet right out of the gate. Luckily I have some experience that it wasn't too daunting however when you are somewhere new you have no idea what to expect and how to do what needs to be done. It also doesn't help to be told that you are late when you clearly were not.
People can only go in and do the best they can with what they have. To put more expectations on anyone is ridiculous. It is a learning lesson for everyone out there. If you are in charge, give someone the benefit of the doubt and show them around a bit. Don't expect them to jump in right away and don't give them the most difficult situation on their first day. Talk about setting someone up for failure. As for the employee, do your best and that's all you can do. Remember, it's not your problem, it's theirs!!!!
