I just landed a full time role in creative at an agency but I have PTSD from my last job. I know this is kind of a broad ask, but I could use any advice that would help me not be terrible at work and keep me from getting fired.

What's upsetting you the most? I've found being open and communicating with my manager about it has helped. My last full time job the CD was not a good boss and I learned I had to approach her and start the conversation or I would just end up fired because she couldn't even tell me if I did something wrong and would let me just keep doing it. Because of that I learned to just start those conversations about how I'm feeling with my bosses and they have been generally helpful.

Thanks! I’ll keep this in mind. 😊

Start your new role by giving everyone there the benefit of the doubt.

Ask questions if you have them. Nobody will assume you’re not smart. You are new, being new comes with questions.

Communicate clearly and often with your whole team.

You’re gonna be great.
Trust. Believe.

Thank you!

What caused the ptsd at your last role? And what is carrying over through that fear/anxiety into this one? Are you nervous about making the same mistakes? Did your last role not support learning and making them? Would help to know what didn’t work so you can land on what will/does.

Thank you! 😊

When you say your salary jumped __x, how is that exactly calculated?

Mine was $16k (minimum wage before joining corporate) > $40k (contractor total before getting laid off) > $150k (current FT)?

Is that a 260% jump or 2.6x from $16k to $40k?
And a 375% jump or 3.75x from $40k to $150k?

Or do I calculate it by hourly rate?
