TLDR: Seeking your stories and advice here. Note I’m not looking to solve the bad boss problem as much as just hear out how you’ve all managed your frustrations and separated work / life.
I won’t need to get into details because, as much as I want to rant, I recognize having a shitty manager and feeling stuck are not at all rare experiences. I’m good with controlling my emotions at work but I am aware that things bother me. Quitting isn’t an option for me at the moment; I’m not drinking any corporate koolaid fuckery to excel and climb the ladder etc etc but this company has actual cool opportunities that go beyond my current role/team and that’s why I’m sticking it out for at least 6 months.
But maybe for some context —
I work at a large company doing corporate strategy and such. This is a new job and I am only a few weeks in (yes and it’s already abundantly clear how awful my boss is), so I’m also extremely anxious that I’m not getting the support I need to learn and do actual work.
I am extremely grateful to have wonderful, supportive friends, but I do live alone and do not have a partner, pets, kids, etc. So it feels like I oftentimes bring home a shitty mood.
I usually am able to defuse some annoyance / stress through exercise and activities I enjoy, but I injured myself recently so I can’t even do that.
I’m also in my mid-20s so part of it may just be my age and lack of experience in dealing with these issues.
Honestly any advice would be great. Thanks in advance ~
