Spoke to two colleagues about leaving and having interviews now Manager came to give me “advice”

Hello everyone, I have been employed at my current company since last October where I asked a recruiter for $75k and their client offered me $50k. I told the client about the recruiters dishonesty and they bumped me to $60k. I realized now that I’m not happy at all because it’s more work than I thought (I’m a receptionist for a financial firm). I told two colleagues I was leaving for more pay and to have the option of WFH. Well, today my manager came to me and told me “just an advice, stop telling people about your interviews and that you’re unhappy”. Well, it’s not my problem people heard me chat since I sit at the front desk miserable with no privacy. On top of that, I got my performance review today saying I’ve been having “hiccups lately”. I wonder why did I even bother getting two degrees here…


Hello everyone,

I have been employed at my current company since last October where I asked a recruiter for $75k and their client offered me $50k. I told the client about the recruiters dishonesty and they bumped me to $60k. I realized now that I’m not happy at all because it’s more work than I thought (I’m a receptionist for a financial firm). I told two colleagues I was leaving for more pay and to have the option of WFH. Well, today my manager came to me and told me “just an advice, stop telling people about your interviews and that you’re unhappy”. Well, it’s not my problem people heard me chat since I sit at the front desk miserable with no privacy. On top of that, I got my performance review today saying I’ve been having “hiccups lately”.

I wonder why did I even bother getting two degrees here in NY if it wont lead me to a role like an analyst or something better.

Edit: the company’s Ive been interviewing for will pay $80k+, so of course I look forward to moving on from my current position.

Edit 2: I’ve already had 2 mental breakdowns where I was in so much tears at work, all while restocking the office.

Excuse my English, I grew up in Latin America.

Have a great day everyone!
