So I thought to myself I’ll stick it out until we get the keys. Its been 8 months now, the job is an absolute shitshow. I work closely with another person who works from a different office and she has been a huge help but can’t help to feel there is this animosity towards my boss who is not willing to change anything in the current process although everything is managed from excel and its very manual. He thinks I’m handling it good and there is no need to change since we are in such unique business.I’m constantly afraid of doing something wrong, because even if I have done something correctly she would slack me and say something like “ this is not your fault, but this is not correct” then I can correct her why I think my side was right and she is like ah yeah ignore me then.
It constantly keeps me on my toes and I have this massive anxiety that one day I will be called out for doing everything wrong.
Now I never really adapted to the people in my office, they all really work from home and nobody ever goes to the office, so there are weeks without me speaking to anyone from my office/ team.
It makes me feel really like I’m a part of nothing.
Last couple of weeks I have been having nightmares about this job as we are preparing for audit and literally dream about they calling me I did a massive mistake when correcting the mess I inherited when I started. I get to the point where I wake up in the middle of the night and start crying.
I have been talking to another company and I feel like they will make an offer. Now I’m taking PTO next 2 week to move to my new house and I feel terrible about the fact that when I come back I might need to hand my resignation my boss will lose his shit.
I feel bad leaving the company when I know they are relaying on me a lot but I kinda also think I can’t keep living with panic attacks.
Don’t ever work for a startup. It sounds like you like things to be organized and planned and working smoothly. And there’s nothing wrong with that. New businesses, operations or even new teams all take time to get there. They need to figure out the right number of people to get the work done, for example. Job responsibilities are fluid and stray from the job description. So take it as a lesson learned about yourself and understanding what type of environment you thrive in and what doesn’t work for you as you move to a different group in the company or at a different company.
