I am sorry I don't know where to post this, I feel…super tired.
I have had this new job for 2 months and my boss was super helpful, created my job, talked a big talk of how I was just the candidate for them. The first month was super slow, the second super busy: lot of projects with various timelines (1 month! 3 months! this one is a group project!). I am a new grad and I feel overwhelmed. I got a new project last week, and today I got yet another one.
I told my boss I was at capacity, and her response was that the latest hire (a goddamn lawyer with 20-years experience who is slumming it here) was very capable and maybe her arrival changed things for me? She said I still have months to go on my probation and her priority is to find people with the skillset she needs…
I feel stupid for even considering I might have had a decent job. Now I know all those awful memes about corporate life are about me. I can't leave, it took 1 year to get this. I am so disappointed with my life that I couldn't make other options for myself.
