I was unemployed for 8months before I started my current sales support administrator position 6months ago (in March) I was super excited and I was very much looking forward to my first office job with the stability that comes with the same time finish and same time starts.
Fast forward 6months, I have come to the realisation it is the most toxic, micromanagement full, gossip full, political work place ever. The plants in the work place don’t even survive – everyone’s always got a hidden agenda. There is no such thing as organisation, and I’m constantly getting thrown under the bus for minimal things I’m doing wrong and it’d be worth pointing out I didn’t have good training. When I joined everyone was so busy saving the company from a situation I had to learn most things myself.
I do blame myself for not doing any research before jumping into an office job just assuming everyone will be nice when I’m nice to them (silly me).
I need advice on how to make myself emotionally feel better – i’ve already been vulnerable towards everyone, shown them I’m a honest open person, kind, gullible(not trying to toot my horn) I need to feel like i’ve taken my power back?
I absolutely hate working with the manager I have as well – he is super controlling and always seems stressed/panicked when he speaks. It’s not reassuring
