I got recruited for a new job just under 2 months ago. They promised me heaven and earth, gave me a 25% pay increase that I couldn’t say no to, and seemed like a really good company.
The problem is… the boss is really shit. I have two disabled kids and I had to take my own annual leave allocation because their childcarer was going on vacation for 3 days. I got complained at for that. They promised flexibility.
I was told I could work from home and in reality I’m needing to travel into the office every single day and pay fuel and tolls. I asked to finish early and start early one day, and I got shit for it and complained at about how “unfair” it was on everyone else. No one else gave a shit.
The guy called my colleagues when he was on actual leave to chew them out for minor shit.
The technology they use sucks. They do tasks 3-4 times needlessly because software is horrendously outdated to the extent that it’s stressful to do anything and tons of mistakes are made by all the team. I work in IT so using outdated technology doesn’t do shit for my CV.
Basically I dread going in to this place. I really enjoyed my old place, but my managers budget didn’t extend to a reasonable wage so that’s why I left.
But the anxiety and stress is killing me. I hate it so much already and having such a small amount of time on my CV is just gonna look terrible…
