Regrets over a New Job

That's such a shame, but, I always think it's easier to swap jobs if you are working. Stay where you are until something different comes up.

Yes I was and I absolutely hated it to. You have to make a decision and sadly sometimes it's the wrong one. Do not delay in looking for something else, it made me truly depressed in the end

Could you speak to your manager and suggest when a vacancy pops up at the level you want that you could be considered?

I think the big thing about vacancies is that the vacancy is there (possibly) because someone else hated the job enough to leave. I am always wary of this and the seeming niceness of the new potential boss?!

I'm thinking about leaving as another team are trying to dump their admin work on me. I've got HR involved as the just told me I'm doing it. Never spoke to my boss

Well its equally important to know what you don't want as it is to what you want. One of my good friend is a teacher and knows herself very well that the idea of becoming a head of department is not something she wants or desire to chase titles. Others would switch school or try to "climb up." But its all about not falling into the carrot and stick situation and knowing yourself well enough to choose what is right for you. Can you delegate the parts you dislike to help someone else who may want to learn parts of it?

Aww that's such a shame that your not enjoying the job, hopefully it will get better once you settle in.

Give it some more time you may start to find your feet more and enjoy but if it's not serving you it's totally okay to step away from it but just give some time that way you can get past the probation period

I moved to a job where my only regret was who I was working with. The other 2 women in the department were horrible to me. I was senior to them but never actually acted on it, but they were horrible from the start. They bullied me, belittled me, tried to make decisions without me, a number of other things. I eventually got sick of it, went to our boss, who had also been horrible and told her some home truths about all of them. She immediately changed towards me, so did the other 2 (I had a contact in another place where one of them was trying to get a job). I treated them how they treated me and they hated it. I didn't stay for long after that. I loved the actual job but I wasn't going to work with people I didn't trust or respect.

You need to figure out what it is about the promotion that you hate and how you can fix the problem.

Yes I have. I worked for a company for a few months got treat like crap so I left and went to another job. Other job was great but didn't tell me until after I had got the job it was maternity cover so only temporary. After that job ended I went back to work for the first company but at a different store only to be treated even worse than the first time I worked for company I left after four months. The person that treat me like crap is now a manager of the store and there are new staff there ever other week. Bad management.

Yes I did recently, I need to start searching for a new job but I'm really struggling for time. Is there anyone you could talk with at work about the issues?
