I’m starting to hate my job

I used to like my job. I am good at it, and I had my workload to a manageable state that I felt comfortable with. I work with a team of subcontractors and had all my guys where I needed them work-wise. Things were good. About 1 month ago I was transferred to a different team and had to take over business for an employee that quit on the spot. She left her book of business in absolute shambles. Work was months old, everything was wrong, it was so bad. I can’t even fathom how the manager let this happen. I have been expected to fix this, since I’m such a “good employee”. Problem is, I just.. don’t want to. I have lost all motivation to do my job and I’ve been slacking and dragging my feet. I don’t like the account & how it’s run, I’m frustrated with this…

About 1 month ago I was transferred to a different team and had to take over business for an employee that quit on the spot. She left her book of business in absolute shambles. Work was months old, everything was wrong, it was so bad. I can’t even fathom how the manager let this happen. I have been expected to fix this, since I’m such a “good employee”. Problem is, I just.. don’t want to. I have lost all motivation to do my job and I’ve been slacking and dragging my feet. I don’t like the account & how it’s run, I’m frustrated with this ridiculous work load dumped on me, the team of subcontractors I acquired already have a bad attitude & are terribly trained since the last coordinator was awful and the expectations feel unfair. Also, I was sent to a different team with a completely different account which means I had to just pick that up right away too. I feel I have minimal support here.

While I appreciate that they have faith in me, I internally have just lost the spark that gave me the ambition to kill it at this job. Every time I pull a report of all the shit that I need to address I get frustrated and overwhelmed. I’m still working on shit from fucking April!!! I can’t help but to feel like I was set up for failure. How can I ever get on track if I started off so behind? I’m nervous that this assignment is going to ruin my reputation at the company.

Anybody else dealt with something similar?
