Started a new job a few months ago, working for a big multinational. I was so excited and it is an incredible career leap but it is screwing with me a bit mentally. My colleagues are always stressed over minor things, I feel a sense of unreality, so much of the work is mad deadlines for internal stakeholders so none of the actually important work is getting done, and I just feel really low and useless.
It feels like an amazing opportunity with lots of travel and I love it in some ways but my boss is a genuinely terrible manager who is terminally incapable of giving clear direction, I seem to be finding colleagues randomly attractive (I am married so it’s completely out of bounds and I’m not at risk in that respect, to me it almost feels like a stress response because the people I’m finding attractive mostly have the defining feature of being nice to me).
Any tips for coping with this? WWYD?
