I used to think I had imposter syndrome. But now I’m realizing maybe I’m just in an environment that tears everyone down. How do you tell the difference between your own insecurities and a culture that makes you feel like you’ll never be good enough?

A culture can’t “make” you feel a certain way. How you feel about your work environment is a function of how the people around you behave and your ability to tolerate them. You can’t control what other people do, but you can absolutely control your reactions. If the people you work with are crap, then start looking for a way out and do your best to stay at arms’ length from them. Get some counseling if you need an adjective listener to help you navigate the situation, and remember that unhappy people will always try to make others unhappy too. Don’t fall for it.

I think if people feel the same at your company it’s not just you. If you talk to people around and trust people with how you feel, it’s likely other people will feel the same way

Imposter syndrome is pretty normal for most people at the start, however it’s not something you should be feeling for long. Once you get to grips with your role if you’re still feeling like this it’s definitely more the environment than you

I put a lot of efforts making friends and always try to be with my friends whenever they need. But, I didn’t always get invited to the party while guys they complained a lot and they hate…those guys are often invited. Maybe attraction is a part of problem in making friendship? Because the guy I hang out have big preference with certain race and he wants to be friend with them more than me. And it seems to insult me sometimes…but let’s be positive… maybe culture, language and other? I’m sad tho.

I am writing this message besides the staff group of EY GDS. Specifically Staff -1 at assurance level. I would request everyone to spare few minutes and read it -

Wanted to bring out that staff-1's are paid peanuts (3.33L CTC) please don't expect them to slog 12-13 hours. They don't have enough motivation or incentives to work that long. Seniors,AM's and Managers should be more kind and explain the work to them clearly rather than making last minute changes.
