Anyone get in with a company that is way out of touch and the role is absolutely not the role?

Yes, I did once before. They advertised the role as what I wanted and then when I got there it was nothing like they advertised. I was given tasks that were to me useless. I quickly left there to find a job that was what i wanted.

When you say the role is not the role, you just mean they're asking you to do things that fall way outside of the typical community engagement manager role? Does your manager understand what you do? I think it might be worth a conversation if you are feeling like you're not getting the expereience you want!

Yup and I was gone within a month. A nightmare!
