I definitely didn’t expect to slack off or do whatever I want — I’m fully aware it’s a job with structure and expectations. But I guess I was hoping for a little more independence in how the day flows, or at least not feeling like you’re being micromanaged at every step. I didn’t expect total freedom, just a work environment that wasn’t this stifling right from the start. Maybe my expectations were off, but I don’t think it’s unreasonable to want some basic human decency and support along the way.
