Today was my final day at Pentair. The first half of the day was dedicated to meetings and the other half was dedicated to working on a side project on solid works. The first meeting was cancelled because the other person didn’t show up, so we had some unplanned free time. In this time, Mrs. Rai gave me some Pentair “online classes”. These “classes” were short videos that helped Pentair employees with certain skills. After watching the specific video for the class, you could take a test to demonstrate your understanding. The first class I took was about marketing and it was pretty interesting and I passed the short test! Next, I took a lesson on sensing people’s emotions in the workplace, which was neat. The mini lessons showed that Pentair really wanted their employees on the same page, even though Mrs. Rai told me she hadn’t taken a single lesson.
After this and the next meeting, Mrs. Rai assigned me my final task or side project: to create a batarang in solid works. This task kept me busy for the remainder of the day. It was quite challenging, but I was happy with what I had learned about the software. Halfway through, I stopped for lunch. Because it was my last day, Mrs. Rai took me out to Ruckus, along with a few other employees. After a yummy and chatty lunch, it was back to my side project. I felt quite accomplished once I had finally finished the project.
