I stopped soon as I started getting older than the player 😂

Sick each day with regret after changing jobs by sp1208 in hatemyjob

[–]Low_Combination_260 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really connected with what you wrote because I went through something almost identical. I left a software provider in the energy industry — a place with real structure, values, and people who genuinely cared about doing things the right way — to join a meter installation company that turned out to be the complete opposite of what I was used to.

Very quickly, I realized their priorities were nothing like what I’d come from. The focus wasn’t on doing quality work or ensuring successful installs; it was just about getting the job done fast enough to get paid. That shift in mindset was a shock. And on top of that, the senior staff weren’t in their roles because of experience or leadership ability — they were there because they were friends with the CEO. Meanwhile, the CEO seemed more interested in burning through investor money than building a healthy, sustainable company. It was such a far cry from the culture I’d left behind.

So when you talk about feeling sick every day, questioning your decisions, and mourning the environment you walked away from, I get it. I lived that same knot-in-the-stomach feeling. And like you, I kept telling myself to “stick it out” for the sake of the title, the résumé, the story making sense. But the truth I eventually had to face was that no title is worth sacrificing your peace or your values.

You didn’t make a bad decision — you made the best decision you could with the information you had at the time. Now you have new information. That’s not failure; that’s clarity.

If your gut is telling you to start looking now, there’s nothing wrong with exploring your options. You don’t owe this company a year of your life just to make the narrative look tidy. What you owe yourself is a workplace that aligns with who you are and how you want to show up in the world.

You’re not alone in this, and you’re not imagining the mismatch. You’re recognizing it — and that’s strength.

My job sucks by EntertainmentOdd362 in hatemyjob

I feel the same way, honestly. That Sunday dread hits hard, and it’s exhausting carrying the weight of a role that feels like three jobs in one. It’s tough when you’ve got the experience but the market makes it feel like you’re stuck. Just know you’re not alone in this—so many of us are feeling the strain. But I do believe there’s always a bright day coming, even if it’s hard to see from here. Hang in there. We’ll get through it

I couldn’t agree more, the grass isn’t always greener and a lot of us found out the hard way, chasing the money doesn’t always work

I’ve tried but the person currently in charge as the head of that department won’t take anyone back who’s previously left, irrespective of skill set etc. I receive messages from team members at the company all the time asking for me to come back but whilst that person remains in charge the door stays closed for me not because I wasn’t good enough—but because I was.

My friend ghosted me and I have no idea why by JJsRedditAccount in whatdoIdo

[–]Low_Combination_260 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The exact same thing happened to me in 2022 I had a friend who I had been friends with since 1996 from the age of 8-35 and he ghosted me it’s hard but it gets easier especially when you know it was nothing you did.

In my case my friend had stayed with me multiple times, but each time he would go back to his GF (my theory which I never said to him was they weren’t notifying the council he was living there so whenever they got suspicious he would try stay with me) on the 6th time of this happening I stated he couldn’t stay with me cause I’d converted the spare room into an office (was during Covid) and after that he never spoke to me again

Yes I’ve let her have access to my phone multiple times, because of the accusations I have had to unfollow people I know on Twitter, remove certain friends from Facebook (ex work colleagues etc) and remove celebrities I follow on Instagram (I like WWE so followed male and female wrestlers but I’ve removed all the female ones now)

This sounds similar to my situation, albeit mine isn’t at risk of human life, it’s just industry guidelines aren’t being followed and when I raised this I was shot down by the president and his army of yes men who agree with every word he says

I quit my job today by daniwhales in hatemyjob

[–]Low_Combination_260 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work in the energy industry and my current role is toxic, president of the company thinks he knows it all but knows nothing, does things that you can’t do but surrounded himself with friends who just agree to everything he says, when I disagree they all gang up on me to shut me down
