Am I overreacting? I work in finance and have done for ten years. In the jobs I take it i ask in the interview to learn and understand new tasks like management accounts. This never happens and I just get given the same tasks. I can do these tasks ,I just never get given them. I have been in this new job for 6 months as a assistant accountant. I told them three weeks ago I have no work and I got given supplier statements to reconcile. A very basic accounting task. The woman I did them for who said she was too busy then didn't like the way I reconciled them. As in put a tick next to each invoice. My bosses are now on holiday and I have next to nothing to do. This woman I add who complained, is remote and she continually is rude and abrash with others making out small mistakes to be big ones, taking minor concerns to the boss without consulting others. I now with my history of always asking for more and never get given more, think I should find another job? Or should I keep waiting for higher more challenging work? I add , this is the fifth job where im in this position. Mainly because I go for the lower levels job like a accounts assistant because of confidence and its difficult to get the more senior roles because I don't have the experience. Im now wondering do I stick it out a, because im still getting the same old tasks, or b, look for another job? I have an interview for a job that implies more senior tasks like CIS returns , payroll which I've never done before.
Am I overreacting or should I move on because life is short? Thanks for any opinions
