I'm not A.A. material 😪 & am 1 or 2 screw ups shy of being fired. I dislike being responsible for my bosses Stuff. This is the 2nd time I'm working as an A.A.
The job market is super rough for most "Professional" positions. Proof: My husband was laid off over a year ago & after numerous applications, several fruitless interviews, we've come to the conclusion that Ageism is very real.😔
I just prefer to work independently on projects. I'm too afraid to leave.😪

Difinitely start looking but hang in there. It’s typically easier to find a job when you have a job and you won’t settle for something that’s not a great fit. I’m currently looking and interviewing and it’s taking longer thsn i thought. You can do this!

Well, you don’t have to leave just yet. I do suggest you start job hunting so you have a head start , just in case something happens with this job. Is your boss approachable? Can you speak with her about your concerns and see if she has any suggestions? Or are there other AAs at your company you could advice from?

It's just him and I. He's unapproachable, to me... I have to use post it notes to ask questions because his demeanor is so short... I'm disturbing him when I ask questions. We're in the same darn room.... for crying outloud. I don't want to be a downer... I'm have a black and white personality person... and I Love Helping....I'm not expecting flowers and butterflies... But Geez!!! It is really hard being in the same room with him...... I can "feel' the heaviness of us not liking each other... I'm looking... but I'm feeling like what's out there I'm not qualified for....😔 I need a referral.

M/SM and above, why do you label a meeting as “touch point” or ask if you can have a “quick chat” when it’s something serious? Millennials like us always assume we’re about to get fired - I actually have been laid off in a meeting with that title. But at my new job, my boss asked for a “quick chat” to literally ask me to change the title of a meeting and then chat about christmas. Now that I’m in management, I want to understand it better.
