and I hope you do get to go up a bit in wages at the end of 6 months, because 4000 is a bit of a hit, but it might be worth not dealing with your terrible workplace
It does! But it is something to be discussed after 6 months as they want the training to be within the office. Then it will be a mix of work from home and the office
So the senior staff is doing a couple days at home and some in the office, but new employees are all working in the office so there is support while we're learning
YAAAAAAAAAAAAS!!!! boo on the 4k hit, but honestly I think it's worth it for peace of mind and general mental health because that place is BEYOND toxic
I'm still a bit sad. I'm going to miss the work I did. I actually really liked the work just... that management. I think I'll be glad I'm getting out in the long run
and it's always hard to leave an old job no matter how much you've grown to hate it. you're used to it, that's all. (it's like trying to quit your ex, lmao)
Congrats, my friend! It's always tough to go for various reasons, but recognizing how bad it was for you is very important so you can take care of you.
As I know deep down I'm incredibly lucky. Not everyone gets a shot at a different job that might make them happier or even have a job that isn't God awful
But I'm still stuck feeling sorry for myself because I'm mad that management was so shitty at this place that it drove me from a job I did enjoy doing.
But there is no reason staying. I know in the long run this job will be better. Just ugh now my "I hate change" brain can't stop thinking about how it's work I'm not going to enjoy as much, for less pay, a longer commute, and not as convenient hours.
I'm trying to focus on how all that really won't matter because being appreciated will make up for it.
It's just... sucks. It's just so disappointing that my current job had such poor management. The one thing I can literally do nothing but leave to fix.
Sorry, I know I should be happy and excited. New jobs are supposed to be good things and I am happy to be getting away from the toxic work place I'm currently in. Who knows? I'll probably be calling myself crazy in a few weeks for ever doubting this new job.
congrats zz!! in the long run, this will be worth it but i understand it feeling hard right now. my brain also hates change, and i've come to accept that i cannot handle big changes gracefully until a few weeks pass and the "new thing" is now normal. i totally get it. it sucks to weather thru it, and muck thru all those feelings, but it'll be ok. rest well!
I guess the other slightly disappointing thing is up until now each new job in Australia has been a big step forward. Started selling car wax in car parking lots on commission only Moved to door knocking for charity for a daily rate plus commission Changed to cold calling sales in a call center Moved onto incoming customer service call center
and data entry is where I've been trying to get to this whole time as I don't ever have to deal with customers it was the dream I had spent almost a decade of living in Australia to get to.
at least it's just a half step I keep telling myself. Not a full on tumble and who knows.... maybe I'll like this better than the last time I did insurance case management work. I don't have a lot of hopes, but I have some.
