Is it okay to leave a job if you dont feel heard or like you're apart of the team & you've only been there for 8 weeks?

[Anonymous]

I'm so stressed out.

Its overkill there at my place of employment.

People delete my work.

I'm being mocked.

Managers blame me for things.

They won. because I no longer feel like I fit in and they are complaining about every little thing I do.

It's just too much for me.

Many places you have to earn respect at. You being the newby , it’s going to be easy to blame you. I was there once with my current job, but now I’m well respected because I’ve been loyal to the company and am good at what I do. Jobs with cut throat environments don’t come easy, but you also need to gain a sense of thick skin because most job positions at the moment are very competitive.

[Asker]

Yea I was told I need thicker skin by my sister in law. That hurt my feelings😂
But I know I need to toughen up. I also felt I dont really fit in and I'd like to make great acquaintances but I guess I should STOP... like seriously. Any other advice? The ceo of my company came to me for help on his project. It was really shocking because I'm new and I guess he didn't know how to do it? Is that good. That's the only reason why I'd stay. Maybe I can get promoted?

[kylee2437]

You should stay! People are definitely going to come and go, and the longer you stay , you may even get respect earned and meet future newbies that respect you because you have been at the company. I didn’t fit in when I first started and I was even called the “overhire” but I was more reliable than 90% of the people I was working around when I first started working there and earned respect by management and other co workers overtime.

[Asker]

Ah I see. I thought it was because no one liked me or my job performance. Or because I look different from the rest. I do know since I've been hired.. like 7 other people have been hired. So that concerned me if the company was a good place or not.
Me and leader got along so well when I first started. She was super helpful outgoing. Now she's cold to me and we barely say 5 words to each other. Yet I work right under her and we are supposed to work really close with eachother

[kylee2437]

Are you introverted? I am introverted and sometimes I feel like my body language shows “she’s reserved and doesn’t want to talk” to others and that makes people avoid me or assume that I don’t like them. That may be your case.

[Asker]

I'm both extroverted and introverted. But you may be absolutely right. I feel I can learn a lot from you

Facing similar at my new job. Now e boss finally found a way to lowkey threaten to fire me. I stared applying to new jobs. Do the same.

[Asker]

Lowkey threaten you? How so?

[Comeon865]

All a sudden he noticed I do not lift super heavy boxes when they are in my vicinity so he hold me to pick one up and I said no It is too heavy and I dont want to hurt myself. Then he told me that the job requires i be able to lift a certain amount or have a doctors note saying why i can't lift 50 pounds. I told him i am willing to do a team lift but he said he is going to get HR involved. That sounds like he's threatening to fire me if i dont come up with a doctors note to explain why i can't lift 50 pound boxes by myself. Either way i am not waiting around. I know what type of person he is.

[Asker]

He could be getting HR involved to let them know yes you may need a doctors note. That's the only thing I see out of the situation. It's all about perspective too. So do you work in corporate like me?

[slatyb]

OK in what sense? Have you had other positions you liked better? If it’s not a fit and you have enough to live on until you find something else, then suit yourself.

[Asker]

I'm actually trying to find the perfect job for me. I have no clue what that is all I really want to do is elevate. I guess like everyone else. I want to get into administration. But I have to do entry level to that. So that's what I'm doing now. But I don't know if I'm going to make it. I dont think I can do anything more difficult. And over loaded with work. I didn't know an environment could be this stressful... I read about it all the time it's just different when you're going through it yourself

[Guy13]

Ride it out and toughen up. It is like that everywhere until you hit Corporate that operates on Standards... ENJOY !!!

[Asker]

Hey... I am in a corporate office.
They portrayed to have good morals and ethic behaviors. I guess they lied?

[Guy13]

What area of Work? Like PHARMA, Oil, Software, Insurance, University etc... ?

[Asker]

It's mostly a consulting company. Plumbing. Heating type of thing

[Guy13]

Oh... those Vendors and staff there are Shit... says a global Asset manager and landlord... Construction Vendors are from Hell.

[Asker]

I was welcomed with open arms for about 3 weeks. Now it's all this complaining and micro managing. I feel I am a failure
