How do you deal with a job turning out to not be what was sold to you?

Was brought in to transform the creative output and help evolve it as a whole from a startup to a growing, more established brand. Perfect.

I'm in the role for 8mths and they're always shifting the work to "doing things the old way" which is just crass shitty locker room humour and bagging out competition.

I've been pushing for change, but feel it's going nowhere and I'm at a loss.

After spending 4 years as a mid-level ops manager, I tried to break into HR through talent acquisition. Now after 6 years in TA, I've had a hard time getting out of it. My goal was always to get into a more broad HRBP position, but I've since worked for smaller orgs without a solid HR career path. When I ask about my career goals, they keep telling me, "Soon!" Or "Maybe in 6 months!"

I switched my company 3 months ago for a kind of similar role thinking I will have more exposure to technologies but as it is a product based company, I am supporting their own product only.
