I honestly feel a little embarrassed about posting about two different jobs twice in a year but here goes.
I recently started a job in a field I’m really passionate about. It’s my first time in a real management type role in a department that’s new to me. That’s okay, I was told, we’ll train you up, don’t worry about it.
Fast forward to today, it’s been a stressful week for everyone involved and I get sat down and told that it seems like I don’t really want to learn because I’m not putting out 70+ hour weeks to learn everything. my boss thinks I’m going too easy on my guys. Also there were some miscommunications that occurred between my team that happened this week that my boss framed as me deliberately lying even though my teammates backed up my story.
I don’t get paid enough (I’m salary) to work 70 hour weeks and I want to treat my guys with respect because they’re human, just like me. On Monday I’m going to ask to switch departments and if not, I’m out. This role has had a lot of turnover in the past and I can see why.
Sorry for the rant, I just needed to get this out here. I hope that I can find a decent job with two relatively short-lived jobs on my resume:
