I honestly feel like I’m in the wrong job. People tell me I’m talented, however, I also have those who keep bringing me down. Every day I am genuinely scared to go to work because I’m afraid I might get yelled at by my boss. Some days I just cry my way through work. I know I should be grateful for my job but I don’t know how much longer I can stay here. My mental health keeps deteriorating every time I talk to my boss.

Also ever since I started this job, I’ve noticed that I started to hate designing. I used to design for fun all time, but now I just spend the weekends dreading for Monday.

Agree with TBWA... it sounds like this culture isn’t meeting your needs and isn’t a healthy path for you to be on long term. It might be this team/cultivated by your manager, in which case TBWA’s guidance is spot on - there may be merit in seeing if you can switch into another team, find a mentor who can help guide you through that process for a better outcome moving forward.

Or it could be that your current company is no longer a good fit - and that’s ok. What may have served us well in the past (or what we thought we wanted) may not be what is best for us now or in the future. Look at this as a learning experience - make some pro/con lists... what do you enjoy, what do you want to avoid? What gives you energy, what drains you? What are you passionate about, what are the things you don’t want to touch with a 10 ft pole? Then start to take small steps to network, network, network and identify what opportunities may exist in your network - and thereby the networks of those in your orbit. Some of the best roles come out of those conversations, but they can take time.

Don’t settle for feeling like this... trust your gut.

Hi everyone, I’m a 6th grade teacher who is thinking about teaching ESL in an adult school next year. The positions are usually part time, 9-12 hours per week. How is the workload? Will there be work that’s hidden under the required hours? For example, prep time, is it included within the paid hours? Thanks so much!
I appreciate anyone who takes the time to help me with my questions. 🙏

I’ve been depressed for years now and this past week I lost a dog I’ve had for 15 years; he was one of the only bright spots in my life and I’ve just found it so hard to focus or motivate myself on anything after this. I genuinely feel like I’m at rock bottom, Idk if I’m crazy to feel that way bc of a dog but I used to be able to control this and put up a front but now my depression and anxiety are starting to leak into my work conversations completely unintentionally, I wish this would stop :(

It’s a total shift that would really heal my work-life balance, job satisfaction and budget. My only fear is that I would not be using the license and degree that I worked so hard for. I would appreciate any input!!!!

I started a new job recently and then had my PTSD seriously triggered, plus a panic attack. Felt so on edge and low on emotional resources for over a week that I wasn’t myself and apparently really rubbed a few people the wrong way so I was called in for a talking to 😣. I let people know there were some personal things going on, but didn’t mention the PTSD—very unsure if that’s something to share, or if I’d be judged for it or... I don’t even know. Has anyone else dealt with PTSD and had it impact them at work, and how did you handle it?
