Only 2 months into new position and I already regret it….
I work for a dealership, and I started out as a lot attendant in the sales department back in 2017. Through out the years I’ve been moving up in the ranks and recently I became an advisor. I wasn’t really asked if I wanted to, my boss sort of gradually trained me for it.
It all started when I was one of the rental agents in our rental department. Because we were short staffed on advisors, I’d help out with the service calls. My boss loved the way I spoke to customers, so he thought I’d be a good fit for an advisor.
Well I’ve come to realize I hate this job. I hate dealing with rude, sleazy, dishonest technicians, rude customers, and just a bunch of other crap that’s getting to me. I just don’t know what to do or if I should tell my boss how I feel. I’m not even sure if he’ll let me take my old job back. I used to be one if the service department drivers, and we’d also help out with giving cancer patients rides to their appointments from the airport through an organization dedicated to sick people. I loved that.
I was told I’d make an additional $2000-$3000/month on commissions alone, but nope. For the past two months, I’ve been on my own because the other advisor had to go away on medical leave so it was just me and my boss. I wrote up most of the repair orders, yet didn’t make what they told me. The money thing wouldn’t be a dealbreaker if it would mean less stress though.
But I feel like I’m stuck, like I already took the job so I’m supposed to commit to it.
