Boss Crushes My Confidence - 3 Months Into Dream Job 😰💔

Hey everyone, I'm really struggling and could use some honest advice right now 😔 Three months ago, I landed what I thought was my dream job - transitioning from marketing coordinator to project manager at a tech startup. It felt like such a huge win, especially jumping from entry-level to mid-level! 🎉 But honestly? I'm drowning. My boss throws me onto these massive projects with zero training, then disappears. When I ask for guidance, he tears me down with comments like "figure it out yourself" or "why would you even think that?" 😤 I used to be confident at my old job for three years, but now I feel like I'm failing at everything. Clients are asking for things I didn't know existed in our process, and I'm constantly second-guessing myself. Is this normal for a new role? Should I start job hunting again? I'm honestly questioning if I'm cut out for this level of responsibility 😭 #newjob #workplacestruggles #careeradvice #JobCareer

Why Can't I Fit In at My New Job?

It’s only my third week at this new warehouse job, and honestly, I feel like a fish out of water. I’m used to working with women in smaller, tight-knit teams, but here, the vibe is totally different. The women here barely talk to me, and when they do, it feels forced—like I’m the one who has to keep the conversation going. Back at my old job, I always got along with everyone, but now, I just feel invisible. One coworker used to be friendly, but since we started sharing the more tedious tasks, she’s gone quiet. She even told me to slow down, but I can’t help it—I’m just used to moving fast. Now, it feels like my work ethic is a problem. Is it just me, or do some workplaces make you feel like you’re on the outside looking in? Have you ever felt like you just don’t belong, no matter how hard you try? 😕 #WorkplaceStruggles #FittingIn #NewJob #JobCareer
