My first day is tomorrow! I feel sick haha.

I've worked at 3 places in 5 years as staff, staff, and senior (the last two being less than a year each). My last job is therapy chair worthy, it was so traumatic. I was nauseous and had headache every single day. Bad enough I swore I had a tumor, but every symptom went away after I was let go. Evidently, this job snuff my soul out.

This is the first time I only told immediate family I got a job. I'm sweating, I'm so nervous for tomorrow.

Thanks for this vibe. I need it 🔥

I kind of have the same story. I have jumped around and not landing in the right space. I feel like this gig is my last shot.

But it isn't really. I just get myself all in my head. Have a drink, get some sleep and don't freak out. Oh, and save some $. If it crashes and burns, take yourself to somewhere quiet to regroup. When it turns out fantastic, you can celebrate. Good luck... to us both!!

Thank you. I'm so glad to not be alone.

My prior jobs were fine and dandy. I gained some much confidence in myself and my skills after them. Then I spent 10 months with a narcissist for a boss and not only did was my confidence ground up into fine dust and set on fire, I have a job hopper status on my resume.

I wish you the best of luck too. May this job at least meet our basic standards because my standards for "nice" are so low now, any halfway decent manager could make me cry tears of joy.

Hey I have job hopped a lot these past five years so I totally get it. Remember it can take a year to fully understand the job, people’s personalities ( for you to grow on them and for them to grow on you, to know and for them to know your strengths and weaknesses.

With that being said

Are you going from small cpa firm to small cpa firm? My point being is it is insanity to keep doing the same thing over and over again. Try different industries, sized firms, roles, teams etc

Poor you. I'm so sorry. It is very nerve wracking starting a new job. Hang in there. Praying it is a company that really makes you feel welcomed and thankful to have you. If working with a team, they all just want to work together and do the job. Praying you go home tomorrow night and feel ot is a good fit for you. Give it time to work with you and for you. Chances are, you have to learn the ways first. Goid luck! I hope you enjoy your new position.

Comforting others:
When someone tells me bad news regarding their health, I say everything I am supposed to say (I’m sorry to hear that, I’m here for you, etc) EXCEPT “everything is going to be ok”. Because I can’t guarantee that and I really don’t know if everything is going to be ok. I was taken aback recently when a friend told me I am calloused and cold-hearted for not being able to say those words. Is she right? Should I start saying this for the purposes of providing comfort only??
