Just started a new job about a month ago after being unemployed for over 6 months. Let me start by saying I’m soooooooo grateful to have this job. It’s remote and the pay is good. What more could I ask for? I’m in my last year of college and looking to move away at the beginning of next year and I’m hoping to hold on to this job until then.
This company hired me under the premise that I am a complete beginner and new to the industry. They said they would train me for 3 months and then some and before I can start working with clients, I’m required to complete some industry certifications. My manager is pretty cool and said that there’s no rush and to take my time. So that’s what my days consist of, endless training videos and “shadowing” meetings with clients.
When I first started this job, I thought that I could see myself here long term but common sense has sensed creeped in lmaoooo. The shit is so boring!!!! And I literally don’t care about any of this. I’m shadowing meetings hardly understanding what’s going on and I’ve honestly checked out. I hardly pay attention to these meetings and I’m doing these training courses not really learning much but just to pass the exams at the end of each course. My mind is numb and I’m in complete bullshit mode. I want to feel bad but I really don’t I’m just here to get paid. I’m hoping to keep this up until I get a new job and bounce. I don’t want to get cocky so I’ve been paying more attention to these meetings but god who cares about this shit. I’m 22 and I know I can’t do this 9-5 stuff for the rest of my life. I feel bad admitting these because I should be grateful to have this job and I am but you would think having an easy job would make it easier, but kinda makes it a little worse. Feeling like everything you’re doing is so pointless. Everyday I wake up just hoping for Friday to come.
