I’ve taken the first job that came about to remove myself from a very toxic manager and senior manager - to the point it was impacting my health. The new job doesn’t align to my strategic goals nor is intellectually stimulating - I’m 3 weeks in and realised this by day 2. Do I tell my new manager or look external as no one internally will be sympathetic to this situation - turning it on me. People are quick to judge - as humans we are allowed to make incorrect decisions.

If the pay is good (aka you didn’t take a pay cut), why not use this time to recover from the toxic manager?

If the job itself isn’t stimulating, can you find something outside like training, mentoring someone, etc?

I’m in the same boat. It took me 6 months to realize what a typical normal workload is.
