Hello,
I am feeling incredibly stressed and worried and wanted to try and get some advice from a different prospective,
I started a new job at the beginning of May, It’s a small/medium sized company but part of a bigger group, the business is in quite a difficult place due to quite big sales decline over the last couple of years and there’s quite a lot of pressure to “turn it around”, My direct line manager doesn’t really make much effort generally and just sighs a lot…
Anyway to cut a long story short, My 3 month probation ended this week, A couple of weeks ago he told me everything was fine and he was happy with what I was doing etc and all was ok probation wise, then suddenly out of nowhere this Tuesday he asked for a catch up during the afternoon and told me it was being extended…despite telling me a few weeks ago that everything was fine? I was completely blindsided, I didn’t really get any context either, and have spent the last three days feeling sick to my stomach, worried, on edge, not sleeping and worrying about not having a job and being able to keep a roof over my head,
I just don’t know what to do, deep down I feel completely exhausted and like the rug has been pulled from me, I’m if honest I haven’t been enjoying the job either, It’s a lot more operational and clunky than I am used to or experienced in and finding it all like pulling teeth but equally now I’m genuinely scared about what could happen,
I just don’t know what to do.
