I recently got a job that actually pays well, (like the best pay of my life so far) and the managers are super chill.
The people on my training class have basically had to tell me to calm down and “chill out” when I'm asking about metrics, expectations etc etc.
For context, my previous job treated us like numbers and EVERYTHING came down to the numbers. For example, my new job has a requested 35 calls a day metric. At my old job you could give them actual data showing that 35 calls didn't even come in to your line that day, so their metric was unattainable – and they would still mark you down.
In every way, it was “meet the expectations no matter what” or you risked your job.
This left such a profound impact on me that I'm kind of known for being too obsessed with metrics and expectations and my coworkers have literally told me to “chill, if it makes sense it makes sense” and “we aren't like that here”.
This gives me a really strange feeling I can't quite place. Almost like imposter syndrome, but in regards to feeling like I'm not doing enough.
Has anyone else ever experienced this going from a terrible company to a great one?
