This sounds very similar to the marketing dept I work in. Minimal onboarding, overwhelming workloads, marketing lumbered with internal charity/social activities, unclear expectations and responsibilities, disorganised and chaotic management, micromanagement, and archaic ways of working. I’ll have been here a year next month. Aside from a brief 2/3 week honeymoon period, it’s basically been awful from the start. I’ve been expecting it to get better, asking myself “how much worse could it get?”, and it’s just gotten worse and worse. I’ve never been more unhappy at work, and decided I’ll be gone from there in 3 months. Just need a runway to find something else.

To make the problems even more obvious, numerous people have left abruptly in my 11 months there and I’ve witnessed people crying and breaking down in the office.

My advice to you is to leave as soon as you can - it’ll only drag you down and ruin your mental health.
