Work really effecting Mental Health 😔

[Zigzag13]

I had a job I loved, there for 4 years and we relocated. Gutted.Could not get work in what I was doing in new location.

Got a contract job doing something similar which was going well till lots of structure changes, people leaving and not replaced, ridiculous work load , really being set up to fail..... plus NOONE spoke to me!

Applied for jobs for 2 weeks and got a new position, again something similar. I have now been there 2 weeks and I HATE IT! The people are lovely but I have not been given the training promised and been thrown in the deep end. They told me at interview there wasn’t a huge turnover but it’s small team and around 8 people have left in the past year and noone in the team has been there long!!!

I am so stuck what to do and mad at myself for taking the first thing that came along!

Is it worse to quit and be applying for roles with no job? Or stick it and look like I am job hopping?!!!!

I am crying every night, I feel so anxious and sick. Cannot sleep that my career feels in tatters and I can’t get back to where I was. This job also has no flexability and long hours so who knows how I would attend and interview if I got one....

A bit too early to judge? U'v only been there two weeks. Calm down and take it easy. Do what you can, and leave the rest until tomorrow! The bits u dont know, ask your manager.

I'm not able to picture what you mean by training, cuz i move roles every few months within my company and i just teach myself new technologies, new systems, and literally a new job, team and management. You can do it, you just need to believe in urself, take it easy and do what you can.

@Hannah021 thanks Hannah that’s great advise.

Re the training when I interviewed I said I didn’t Some things and so was promised someone would go through all with me, when asked questions been told I don’t really need to know or google. Lol!

Google!! That's rude, if they cant help cuz they busy, they can arrange a better time.

Write down all your questions as you face them, set them asside until you feel it'll take 30mins, then go to your manager and say i need 30mins of ur time, when r u free?
two weeks i can imagine you'll probably need an hour or more (which is fine ask for that), but it is better than asking at random times ...

Good luck new jobs r stressful
