Promoted Too Soon? Now I'm the Villain in My Own Office 🎭

Ever get the feeling you were set up to fail? That’s me right now. I got promoted to lead a team just a year after joining, and honestly, I barely had time to learn everyone’s names. Suddenly, I’m the youngest manager, and it feels like my every move is under a microscope. People don’t see me as a leader—they see me as the kid who got lucky. Communication is a mess, and every decision I make is questioned. I want to do right by my team, but it’s like I’m fighting an uphill battle with no guidebook. Has anyone else been thrown into the deep end like this? How did you get your team to trust you? I’m open to any advice—I really don’t want to drown here. 😓 #WorkplaceStruggles #LeadershipJourney #TeamDynamics #JobCareer
