I knew my 4th day in.
What do you guys not like about the roles? Is it something you could have gauged before you took the job (in hindsight)?
For me, my culture is super suck-uppy. And there’s no one under 50 so I have no one to bond with at my level. Separately, the lack of resources is painful (for eg I had to beg to be able to get a laptop so I could work after hours / weekends, which is baffling to me after a law firm). The expectation was that I’d be working after hours but they wouldn’t issue a laptop to me for this purpose bec they want people in 5 days a week. When they finally approved it they said it would be deducted from my pay 🤯. Like sure my guy take the $1000 for some shitty Chromebook.
Start looking now. I had the same experience at my last in-house job. Weirdly enough, I got along better with the sales team than my own department. I had a toxic insecure boss and a narcissistic dinosaur GC who refused to retire.
