Just a Workplace Scapegoat? 🤔

Ever been handed a leadership role before you even had time to figure out where the coffee machine is? That’s me. I was suddenly promoted to lead a team in our branch—no warning, no training, just a new title and a mountain of expectations. Now, my team barely acknowledges me, and every decision I make seems to spark more criticism than collaboration. I’m the youngest in the group, and honestly, it feels like everyone’s waiting for me to fail. Communication is a mess, and I’m constantly second-guessing myself. Has anyone else been thrown into the deep end like this? How did you earn your team’s respect and find your footing? I could really use some advice before I drown in all this workplace confusion. 😓 #LeadershipStruggles #WorkplaceGrowth #TeamDynamics #JobCareer
