I'm so miserable. I have two very challenging direct reports and spend so much time managing them, but get nothing from above as my own manager is almost entirely unavilable. It's draining me and I don't have the energy to give proper support to my graduate recruit, who needs mentoring and coaching as it's her first job. So I'm exhausted AND feel guilty all the time.
I kick myself every day for leaving for last job. I'm applying elsewhere but there isn't much out there at the moment in my field.
I just want a moan really, and solidarity with anyone else in this position.
