I just started my new job and I absolutely hate it. Mostly for the environment but the work is also mundane.
I went in for an interview earlier this month and while I was being walked through the building I saw everyone staring. And I noticed how young everyone was, and I thought to myself “oh this is going to be full of drama”.
Fast forward to my first couple days, my coworkers are talking shit about people I don’t know. They’re probably talking about me since I’m the new person but it doesn’t bother me. I’ve also noticed a lack of productivity, oddly feels like I’m the only person trying to stay busy while everyone else chats away or sits on their phones.
My team lead is possibly the most talkative person, and will ask so many questions to get you talking. The manager is the opposite, doesn’t seem very involved with the team.
I like to work and listen to music unbothered. I don’t like talking because the more you talk the more trouble you get into, less productive too.
Any red flags anyone else notices when they start a new job?
