Hi all. I started a new job as a manager about a month ago, and I hate it. My anxiety is at an all time high. I spend half my weekend dreading Monday, and I feel like I’m flailing not knowing what I’m doing. My boss is continually throwing things at me, and k just don’t have the mental fortitude right now to hand it. She also mentioned to me that we are going on a hiring freeze and may be having some budget cuts.
This week I have had discussions with my prior boss at my old job to come back. I left for more money and a promotion, but at this point I’m happy to go back to my prior role if I can. I’m still waiting to hear back from them on if it’s a go or not.
But meanwhile my boss wants me to hire a team (we’re excluded from the hiring freeze) and make other decisions when I don’t really want to since I’m trying to leave. My question is should I hold out until I see the paperwork to return to my last job? It sounds positive that it will happen (my old boss has been telling people I may come back). But I’m scared resign before it’s official.
