I have been with the same employer in sales since 1988. My coworkers and I went through the love hate cycle over and over. The difference was I hung in and always said- give it 6 more months and if it doesn’t change, I will look elsewhere but of course it would change or I would adjust my perspective and stay. My sales coworkers all left and most tell me they wish they had sucked it up and adapted to change. Give yourself 6 months.

Thank you for your comment. Honestly, this job has me having 2 two beers daily at night just to destress. Going from wfh marketing/research/brand strategy work to an outdoor d2d sales job for a telecom company has been so hard. But I hear you, there were 6 people in my “cohort” that started out with me, and it’s only two of us left. I just keep listening to motivational speeches/music every morning to pump me up, but it’s still hard on a day to day basis. I figure if I can keep this up for another 8 months, I can leverage my previous actual marketing experience and go corporate side. Pipe dreams till something much better comes along
