Read what each sentence says about the person's experience: a former routine needs used to + base verb; something familiar needs be used to + -ing; becoming familiar needs get used to + -ing. The workplace vocabulary changes, but these meanings stay the same.

I'd check the words before the gap next. After couldn't or take time to, use get; for a change completed in the past, use got. Some repeated actions in a clear past setting also allow would. Follow the particular situation, even when several sentences share a workplace theme.

Quick Rule

former habit/state: used to + base verb | familiarity: be used to + -ing | adjustment: get used to + -ing
