Current boss made a sucky job seem brilliant. What do I do?

[lollipopsarentbreakfast]

Back in Feb I left a job and moved to a different department in the company I work for. I was told I'd have proper training, I was told I could have Saturdays and Sundays off (due to childcare issues) I was promised this, that and the other and they made it seem like a really great job

It's not. At all. I've not had anything I've been promised

My boss is hateful, she's very clique-ish. But to be fair the whole team is very clique-ish. They all seem very fake to me and before I started, my boss seemed to be losing staff all the time. Maybe that should have been my first red flag. I'm just now realising that my last job wasn't so bad but I'm not sure they'll take me back. DP has a good job, he makes good money but I like to feel like I'm making an input to our finances. I really don't know what to do and honestly? I'll accept any criticisms you'll throw at me.

I'm sorry if I seem like I'm whining. I've been fretting over this for a week and it feels like I can't see the light at the end of the tunnel

Before anyone mentions it: Yes I am actively looking for a new job. But hardly anyone seems to be hiring.

Have you contacted your former manager regarding returning to your previous role? Worth a try?

Good luck

@ElaineMarieBenes I haven't yet but it might be worth a try, I think my old boss is on Holiday at the moment. It wasn't the best job but I enjoyed it and I was good at it. Most of all I enjoyed the presence of my co-workers. I'm just feeling a tad hopeless and in hindsight, if that's the right phrase at all, I knew I shouldnt have taken this new job on.

I also think contact the previous manager. There is a recruitment crisis on at the moment and in many sectors it’s a buyers market so if you are lucky there might be a vacancy you can fill.
