2.5 years ago I left a job I had been in for 4 years to work for a charity in a new role. The new role didn't have enough for me to do and I discovered after I had started paid me less than others for doing the same role. 6 months ago I contacted my former boss to ask is she would mind if I used her as a referee, she was happy to and also mentioned that they would have an opening at a higher level than I was on when I was there. I applied, interviewed and got the job, I was slightly unsure about going back but with a new line manager and more scope thought it would be ok. Role forward to now and I now remember why I left, the lack of support, both day to day and in terms of development, the lack of general interest in doing tasks. Don't get me wrong I don't need to be micro managed but it would be nice for someone to take an interest in what I do and actually notice if I am not around. I like the work I do and the areas which it is based, but the politics of the management set up, drags me down.I know I have made an error in judgement as I expected too much to have changed, and I am trying to be positive and have been looking for courses I can do at work to reinforce my skill set and help my confidence, but I am worried about how this will look to future employers..? How do I put a positive spin on this...?
