Started a new job it's a completely sink or swim environment. I don't need hand holding and try to solve myself, but I've gotten not guidance.

I've been given lots of work and told off when I don't complete it. But, when I ask a questions (say at 9:30am), my manager or others will say ask at 11..then will say ask at 5:30pm etc, which is happening on a daily basis and when they have time "I dunno, this company is messy".

Tired of this, and it impacting my emotions outside of work.

Ideas?

Im starting a new job but still employed somewhere else. I was trying to be open about staying at BOTH places. My current job won’t let me be part time because they don’t allow “set schedules”. Yet I am one of the only reliable and loyal employees in the department, and currently working a set schedule. So why will they not let me continue a set schedule but with different hours? This place is more focused on strict policies and not actually trying to work their employees and being flexible.

Who here has great work life balance? How many hours do you do annually? Do you take vacation? How many hours a day? When can you log off?
