I’ve been in my job 7months in sales management and last month successfully completed my probation.
I cover a huge patch and manage multiple sales teams - each having their own issues.
The workload is quite heavy - manageable when I wfh however as I need to also be on site visiting teams wfh has become very rare and my role has required me to be on site more often.
Its year end so work has been extremely pressured and I’ve been prioritising what’s been needed however because of this and the time consumption of other things I’ve realised there’s some things I’ve let the ball drop on.
It seems my manager has also picked up on this.
One thing I’ve found I’ve dropped on he hasn’t yet - however it’s quite big and now I’m debating whether to own up on it because I’m very honest or am I better to try and wing it a bit longer in the hope I can sort it out.
I’m not sure what I’m asking for really but I just feel really overwhelmed with everything, I take so much pride in doing a good job, and until recently I had been doing extremely well and receiving positive feedback from top management also.
The dynamic of the team isn’t the best and people are always walking on eggshells. It’s extremely reactive and I find myself battling through my job load - not taking a lunch break and still picking emails up in the evenings and weekends.
But realising I’ve dropped loads of things and evidently now I’m getting picked up on these has given me complete anxiety that I’m now going to loose my job and I’m dreading tomorrow.
Has anyone any helpful advice?
To add: I was made redundant from the same role elsewhere and it took me 9 months to find this role now. It really took my confidence.
