I’m in the latter half of my career. I always used to do well but recently found myself made redundant and I got a new job in a small company so contribution matters. It could be a very interesting job but I know
the culture is unforgiving as staff seem to ‘disappear’. It started off well as I had a contract with a company in my wheelhouse of expertise. That ended after 10 months due to the company closing down projects (failed drug) and now back in the fold of the company. I now have several clients but one now wants me off their project and my colleague back on. My colleague had been give a full time job with another company so his isn’t ideal for my colleague or for me. I’m now concerned for my job knowing the culture etc. equally I don’t really like the culture and while I’m looking for other jobs I simply have to brush myself off and see what happens. I need the money but feel I’m only just surviving and not thriving. Is it an age thing? I feel so rubbish and crap and wish I could retire. Or at least take a break.
we have debts and many outgoings with kid at uni and supporting their hobbies. Anyone going through similar ands started living again!
