My DH is so down with his job. Hes so miserable when he comes home saying hes really struggling and often feels inadequate and stupid. Hes supposed to lead on projects but says he feels like he doesn't know what hes doing himself so how can he be expected to lead and soon enough hes going to rumbled as incompetent by his colleagues.
Its so sad to see him like this. Hes not like this as a person, hes upbeat and a smiley character usually. Hes been in this job for 6 months and ive told him to give it a year as the first 6 mths are always the hardest and it takes sometimes a year to feel confident in a new role.
I told him to make a plan of what he wants to achieve over the next 6 mths and work towards these objectives and if he hasnt achieved them by that time or hasn't been able to fulfil his role then perhaps this isn't the job for him and he should look elsewhere.
I think morale is bad there as a lot of people are leaving. There have been major problems there for years and he feels like its all on his shoulders to make it all better and fix everything straight away.
Any other ideas for me to put to him to help him?
