I started a new remote job a month ago. To boil it down, I knew this job wasn’t going to make me happy and I’ve debated leaving this field altogether. That’s not to say I haven’t been “trying” at this job, but I’m not killing myself to prove anything. It’s what burned me out from my last job. They’ve also been pretty hands-off with training on their end.
I got an impromptu “goals and expectations” meeting from my manager for later today. Of course no context and no heads up. Just leaving me wondering until later today.
Ultimately they’re going to ask about said goals, but I just want to learn this job, work, and be left mostly alone. I’m not looking for promotions or a bonus. There’s so much corporate koolaid here and I’m just not about it. How can I convey this in a nice way?
