WWYD: Should i quit?

Hey there. just started a new job in a new field. our office is literally 3 people, me included. We have many offices around the country but are just trying to now “rebuild” the area's branch. we've got a New Branch Manager who is new to the company but not the industry who started maybe 3 weeks before me. It's not a hard job perse, but it is a highly detailed job. There are many variables at play, but with the right training and time, i can easily figure out how to do my job. Thing is the training has been awful. Very rushed, very much a “figure it out or ask another team member online” When i was hired, i made sure to tell them that culture and quality of life at the job was most important to me. I believe they just agreed to simply fill the position.…


Hey there. just started a new job in a new field. our office is literally 3 people, me included. We have many offices around the country but are just trying to now “rebuild” the area's branch. we've got a New Branch Manager who is new to the company but not the industry who started maybe 3 weeks before me.

It's not a hard job perse, but it is a highly detailed job. There are many variables at play, but with the right training and time, i can easily figure out how to do my job. Thing is the training has been awful. Very rushed, very much a “figure it out or ask another team member online”

When i was hired, i made sure to tell them that culture and quality of life at the job was most important to me. I believe they just agreed to simply fill the position. I believe they have no other candidates and desperately needed someone. my boss is clearly stressed with their new position and have become increasingly passive aggressive if i have questions, which in turn stops me from learning and understanding the process. I have stated clearly that i am very uncomfortable with the pace of which the work is being given to me because i simply don't understand the order of operations (THEY HAVE NO SOPs FOR ANYTHING) and i've been told over and over that “it just takes time” and “you'll get it eventually”

All that being said, I switched medications and had to takes a few days off. That's when my boss realized that i didn't have a key to the office and that i would have to come in on a day i called out sick to get a key or else i “wouldn't be able to work next week”. I made sure to wait til the end of the day but ended up being told to just take my pc and work from home this week because no one else would be in the office (corporate retreat or some shit this week)

Now i'm working from home and seriously questioning why i am over here stressing out about this job, getting emails from my boss on how i have to get certain things done by the end of the day when I don't even really understand what the fuck i'm doing here.

I've been in this field less than a month. I can already tell that if this is the entirety of the job, i'm going to fucking hate it. So what saw you antiwork? should i just fucking quit?
