I majored in office administration and loved it. I worked as a barista for a while prior and decided it was time to do my pre-grad applications. Got into an office. Thought it was great — wrong.
Staying somewhere from 9-6, going home for a few hours to go to bed at 10 and do it again is not the move. Not to mention office politics aren’t a thing but I’m in a field where there’s no proper training and everything you do you have to ask a coworker about. Like there’s zero independence, you’re reliant on everyone’s answer for everything. And if I do something wrong, they’ll tell me I’m doing it wrong, interrupt me the entire conversation when I try to explain how I’m seeing it, and then repeat.
What’s hilarious is that everything I’m doing wrong comes from the coworkers that have been here for a WHILE before me.
Already 2 coffee shop interviews in. Being told I’m dumb from 9-6 M-F is for the birds.
