New job Regrets - please advise

[Luv2chat2U]

Hi,

I recently changed job roles within the same organisation and despise it! Did several years in my previous role but due to the stress of it, changed positions in the hope that the new role would be more rewarding. There were no issues with management or the team.

My new role has zero training, and I am spending a lot of time chasing essential equipment that should have been ordered prior to my start date as my job involves a great deal of risk. Yet, on day one, I was expected to hit the ground running.

They have very high expectations of me despite all the issues I'm facing, and yet fail to deliver any standards themselves or support me in anyway. My team leader doesn't even acknowledge me, and despite me raising concerns to her and her senior, they have just brushed it off.

In my previous role, I was very well regarded and left on very good terms.

It's nearly a month in and I already want to leave. I have seen another job in my previous dept. (different team and job) and I am seriously thinking about applying.

What would you do?

Do you think it will look bad? too soon?

Just to clarify, all jobs I have mentioned are within the same organisation.

Apply. If you are called for interview explain that the culture of the new team you joined has unfortunately not been a great fit and you have realised you worked much better within the supportive collaborative culture of previous department. Talk positively about the company and your old team and interactions you have had with the new jobs team previously.

If they ask for more details on why its not a great fit in your current new role, be specific but not emotive. The equipment hasn't been made available for you to work effectively, you have struggled to access the necessary training for the new role and you have found it difficult to get clear guidance from your new manager on the objectives and vision for the new role that you had been expecting when you made the move.

This shouldn't be held against you if you can give clear level headed responses. Honestly the people I've known to move on within a month or so of starting a new role are usually the best candidates (as long as it's not a pattern). They are usually strong workers who can recognise a dysfunctional workplace quickly and move themselves out of it onto something better as their self worth is strong.

@Barleysugar86 , this is really helpful advise, I really appreciate it. Thank you for taking the time to respond. 😀
