Ugh…

There’s nothing worse than starting a new job that you’re excited about…

And things go south so quickly that it makes your head spin.

I got a job once that I was really psyched for…unfortunately, I knew about three weeks in that it was not going to work out.

What a bummer!

Check out what the guy in this story had to say about the job he’s been at for just six months. He’s already had enough.

I boarded a sinking ship and now I’m drowning with them.

“I worked at my last job for many years, right out of high school.

It was okay, but was physically demanding and I really wanted a change.

After months of looking, I ended up being offered and accepted a lead position at another company.

Ugh, this sucks…

I’m almost six months in now and I’m very close to losing it and just walking out. I don’t know what to do.

The amount of work expected of me is just not feasible. I would need to work 12-13 hours a day just to complete everything expected of me, but OT is not allowed.

Their equipment is falling apart, the computer system is crashing every other day. Even their phone system doesn’t work half the time.

This whole thing is a nightmare.

People are leaving left and right.

Someone who was well respected just walked right out halfway through the day and quit.

Another person, who the CEO was glazing at the last company meeting, is leaving with nothing lined up.

Every day feels like I’m in the state of drowning for 9 hours, then go home to catch my breath, then start the cycle all over again the next day.

This job is not worth it!

I’m also just having trouble sleeping because of the stress of this place.

I’m writing this at 3 am because I woke up upset about something that happened yesterday where someone jumped down my throat over something that wasn’t even my fault.

I don’t know what to do. I’ve applied all over and just get rejection and rejection, including at my last company where I left on good terms.

I got to the point where I even asked my old boss about the possibility of my old job back, and he said I’d have to start at the bottom of the food chain again if a position did open, which I get, but can’t afford (it’d be like an $8/hour pay cut).

Life is miserable at the moment and I just don’t know how much longer I can take this.”

Poor guy…

This really sucks!

But all you can do is move forward and try to find something else as quickly as possible.

It sucks when a new job turns into a nightmare…
