Concerned my new job is not what I thought. There isn’t clear leadership and lack of expertise in adjacent departments means they’re expecting too much of my role. I don’t know what to do. Can anyone reframe my thinking? Info in attached image. I’m also 10 weeks pg!

Tl, Dr: despite them saying that they wanted an exec leader to bring IP and innovation, I think what they want is a doer, someone in the weeds to keep churning by through day-to-day projects. I can’t do both.

Feel like I could’ve written this.

No advice except document everything and give yourself some grace.

Oh really? Same boat?

Hi all!
Would love some insight on how you went from an HR assistant/coordinator to an HR Generalist. I’ve been in the HR world for 8 years, and only in the last 2-3 have I really done real HR work. The first company I was at didn’t have a solid HR team so I don’t really count that. I feel like I’m ready to take on more responsibility and learn more. And of course make more money.
