I feel like I’m being set up for failure at my current position. Communication is non existent, I’m never given clear direction on anything, and process is so backwards (any attempts to fix it...(1/2)

Do you feel like you are being documented? Like, they are collecting examples toward putting you on a performance improvement plan? That’s when you worry. If it’s standard agency chaos, communicate with the people who can help improve it, directly. Taking initiative for positive change rather than getting down on the status quo will help you rise above it. And if you can’t change it, look elsewhere.

Bail out.

Should I stop taking interviews because I just left my old job 1.5 months ago? Only reason I switched was because of the 48% increased pay and I don’t love what I do. I wanna be in a different industry & role and some companies reached out to me to interview and one will pay me 31% more for base and with bonus, it’s 57% more than current pay if I get it. That job really excites me cuz of what I’ll be doing. But I know it’s not a good look if I switch again. Idk what to do. Please advise.
