Congrats on the Promotion? More Like Welcome to the Hell Tribulation🥱

I always thought getting promoted would be a dream come true, but now it feels more like a nightmare I can’t wake up from. Just weeks after moving to Chicago for a new job, I was suddenly named team leader—way before I was ready. Now, every glance from my coworkers feels like a silent accusation, and I swear the break room has never been colder. At 26, I’m supposed to be leading people who barely know me, and honestly, I have no clue how to win their trust or break the awkward tension in meetings. My confidence is taking a nosedive, and the stress is starting to mess with my sleep and my bank account. Has anyone else ever been thrown into the deep end like this? I could really use some advice or just a friendly word. 😓 #WorkplaceGrowth #LeadershipChallenges #NeedAdvice #JobCareer
