I just started a new job and I’m miserable- my new agency seems to have a lot of emotional baggage and general anger/grumpiness. Everyone is just kind of nasty and it’s really making me regret my choice - I feel like I left a toxic culture but that had really good humans and now I’m just in a toxic place where everyone is miserable and quite frankly mean.

Many thanks.

1:1 with my boss, one of the areas of improvement was: “be more vocal”.

Just wanted to vent it, and say for all the leaders out there, if you want us to be more vocal, give us a chance to be heard with our own voice and truth

She never takes out her card and only venmos me if I send her the request. She lets Venmos sit for weeks before paying them. I still let a lot of things slide.

I’m struggling. I left an agency I liked last year due to growth limitations and since then I’ve worked at 2 different agencies and can’t seem to find my footing. The first one seemed like a good fit at first but then it turned out to not be the best place for me so I left. At my current agency I feel super undervalued. I’m always raising my hand and offering to help where I can and no matter what I do, I don’t feel utilized or valued or part of the team.It’s really taken a toll on my confidence
