I found out last week that I didn't get a job I was in final rounds for. While that in and of itself is disappointing, what has me even more down is being stuck where I am. I was completely oversold on the job description and the role and while it pays well, my day-to-day is not even remotely commensurate with my experience. Most of the job openings I'm seeing would basically be the same shit I'm doing right now. Feeling extremely anxious and really down. Thanks for letting me vent.

You got this dude don't let it get to ya. It's like a relationship - you think it's "the one" but there's plenty of "ones" out there.

Take some time to be a bit sad - order some food for delivery, watch a TV show that makes you feel better, workout, do whatever you need to.

Then it's time to get back out there again!

You got this 💪

I too often feel kind of stuck with my job, feel old outdated and obsolete 😞 even though I am very good at whatever I do with great passion working alone is not enough! I am totally stupid when it comes to buttering up or cow towing… feel frustrated.

I’ve never worked in a satellite office before, what are typical leadership structures and processes for a satellite to be successful?
