I've had multiple chats with my manager about my performance, and have stated that I'm not getting the support i need
they always put it back on me and say thats my responsibility, but i feel as though I'm either not getting the opertunities i need to develope, or areas i show interest in are rejected
any advice? or do i just need to find a new job
It does sound like you need to do some internal work to figure out how to perform even when you don’t love the job (speaking as someone who struggles w this too). I do think counseling might be good for that internal exploration piece and to help you sort through what you need for job satisfaction.
However in my opinion there are 2 things that you mention that are hard to move on from within a current role and that usually require a change of scenery (ie fresh start). Those are:
1) no support/overworked/workload untenable as a management practice. Short term sprints or times where we have to pick up slack are to be expected but permanent understaffing/overworking or denying support is a culture issue that you can’t change even by asking for help. If this is the case, chances are things won’t get better for you until you find another role where the management is better and WLB is possible.
2) performance discussions. I have been in places where I’ve received negative feedback over time and still been able to recover and be in the job comfortably, but this is the exception not the norm. And even in those scenarios where I did get past that period to be fine and performing in the job, it wasn’t like I thrived or was ever viewed as a top performer. If your performance is in question, chances are it might always be OR that the Amt of work you’ll have to do to get out of that perception hole isn’t worth it.
Both of these factors make me feel like fresh start might be better. But fresh start also doesn’t cure but out if the struggles extend before this job. As someone who struggles w depression and has had burnout issues, time off can be necessary sometimes. Also I do suggest you go to counseling (w someone who can talk career not just personal life). It sounds like you need that. It really could help w determining your next steps and reducing your burnout.
thanks for sharing your experience, i have been seeking counsiling recently as I've been diagnosed with significant anxiety, and it has helped at times, but other times i still feel stuck
i did recently sit down with one of the higher ups and discussed by progression (or lack of) and the only real feedback i got (or atleast what i took away) was i need to be working longer hours (50-60/wk) and more professional developement in my own personal time (i understand the importance of professional developement, but i also enjoy having a life outside of work)
i definitely feel as though the support and developement structure isn't there, it's "sink or swim"as my boss has put it, but i want to break the cycle of changing job/industry every 12 months
