nightmare new job

[MiniMoon12]

Hello,

Just after some advice. I left my previous job at a small company for a bigger role, more money, large organisation and step up in my career....trouble is, its a new sector and I am not enjoying it.
Some of the girls in my team(one in particular) has taken a dislike to me, I don't come to work for playground drama, for me its a do your job attitude and go home to my kids/family when I finish...and I am feeling miserable here. I have brought it up with my line managers who are aware of the situation, but I just feel terribly awkward now.
I have this week been approached by an old client for a similar role in the sector I was in before (the sector I love), and I am so very tempted but dont want to jump ship at the first stumbling block. Id be taking a pay drop (not a huge one) and benefits are not half as good as where I am.
Any thoughts on what I should do?

How long have you been in new role?, if you feel that youve given it 100% and that its really not for you - and you can afford the drop in salary in the other job - then I'd cut my losses and go. Lifes too short to be miserable when you dont have to.

Hey, thanks for your thoughts. I have been there 3 months and I feel like I have tried my best but having little support/training. It’s hard because I don’t want to be seen as someone not giving 100% but it’s hard considering I’m enjoying it.

Negotiate with the person offering you the job to match what you are on including the value of the benefits

I would go. Life is too short to be unhappy

Sorry, but by the 3 month mark things have normally panned out to be what will be! In other other words if it’s shown to be shit now it will always be shit and probably get even more shit!
Don’t be miserable, too many workplaces are now horrendous, toxic environments. Get yourself gone .
Nearly every other thread on MN these days is about how unhappy people are in the workplace, and the government can’t work out why there’s so many people not wanting to work……….

This is what I would do. There is no sense staying in a job you hate because of how people may perceived you 'giving up' at the first stumbling block. Life is too short!

To be honest with you these people aren't going to change. If I were you I'd go for the new offer or even contact your old postion to see if it's still available.

Thanks everyone, I had a good week this week but said person wasn’t in, so maybe that’s why.

Hi all, I have tried my best but it’s got worse and worse. I am singled out everyday, I have had inappropriate messages from a colleague (questioning my work schedule), I get left out when certain people go for coffees/lunch, constant dirty looks and giggles if I walk past. I have spoken to management and it falls on deaf ears. I have no choice but I am taking a £15k pay drop to go back to my old role, it sucks but my mental health means more to me. With my old role I had fantastic colleagues, a good work life balance and no micro management.

Oh wow im sorry things didnt improve, and I guess it shows the company culture if management dont take allegations seriously. Im glad that you managed to get your old job back...heres to a brighter future 💐💐

Sorry OP, this sounds like a rubbish situation. I’d cut my losses and take the other role. When you leave, request an exit interview with HR and be sure to include examples of the behaviour you’ve faced as your reason for leaving.

Definitely leave. Life is far too short for this type of drama at work.
