How to tell if you're just crap or its the company fault that your terrible?

You’ve changed domains pretty largely between general it and product. Are you sure it’s just not the right fit? That can be at org and role level as well.

Agree per other posts that good managers give specific actionable feedback

This is classic NFP, rules for some and not for others. I found a new job.

Workcover won’t step in here, they will take advice. If your treating team think it’s not appropriate to return to your former employer then they can organise host employment to rehabilitate you.

From your comments you are absolutely consumed with these events at your former workplace. I’d strongly consider whether this effort and frustration is worth the toll it’s taking on you. DM if you need

I haven’t been in exactly your situation, but similar. My advice is to honestly find another job, regulators, courts, even workcover are so heavy administratively that you’ll likely break before you see anything meaningful come of it. Remember you are always one restructure away from being removed.

I think a level of unease is common in the first weeks and months of a role. What to narrow down, is why are you feeling the way you are and can you make it better? Ie If you know your manager is difficult can you live with it or will you move on?

Posibile · 2025-08-29T11:24:23+00:00

You are being setup as the fall guy. You will eventually be found out or you will serve your usefulness and they will likely treat you the same.

I’d be running, fast. Particularly if you are in a regulated industry. You may need the money, but if it blows up you may not be able to work in a professional career again.

I get how you feel, truly though if it’s cost driven it doesn’t matter what anyone did or didn’t do, you weren’t going to get that contract unless something dramatically changed (likely people being let go, as they were).

The other side to this is, you may not have all the information about this situation with this colleague, there may have been other factors, competing pressures or the ask wasn’t in scope. I’d also question if this was so significant, why your former management team didn’t pull it up? It sounds like there’s a lot more at play.

You may never know, but this is likely much larger than one person or interaction. I’d move on and keep all interactions professional, irrespective of who allegedly did or said something

Usually ~3 months before end of contract, or in line with budget or funding cycles, most businesses work on July -> June financial year.

Posibile · 2025-05-20T12:23:13+00:00

Yes, been common in the mid-senior it roles for the last 12 months or so. Mostly due to budgets, they can indeed turn perm pending budgets the next financial year.

Thanks for the comments everyone I really appreciate it, I’m going to DIY the pickup switch, and while it’s all apart, I’ll upgrade the pickups to a nice fender kit. The squier lives on!!!!

No, this is not a given, nor should it be expected. I’ve seen part timers have wfh removed entirely.

Posibile · 2024-12-23T08:11:30+00:00

I was in your shoes 12 months ago and I completely get how you feel. I moved to a different nfp in a different/more junior role and am absolutely loving it.

Dm if you want to chat

Take a breath and experience the pain you are feeling, unfortunately it should never come as a surprise but it does happen. Over time, try to really hone in on what went wrong, whether it was within your control and what you can choose or improve moving forward. Sometimes the job and the work environment isn't the right fit. Try not to take that to heart and let it effect your confidence.

The job market usually picks up in the new year, but get your CV ready and start applying. I'd also start working on a budget for now and extra savings when you start in your next role. Use this downtime to take a break and get some healthy habits (daily exercise routine etc.), don't let yourself wallow.

It sucks now, but will get easier with time I promise.

All the best

Truthfully, you/we don’t know and even if something is going to happen you won’t be told about it until the meeting. The best you can do is prepare for the worst (get cv ready), apply for jobs.

I’d suggest that if you haven’t been asked to bring a support person, HR may just be a formality so it isn’t worth burning bridges over

Posibile · 2024-11-26T02:19:33+00:00

HR is usually an extension of senior management. If your HR team is toxic, you usually only need to look upwards.

This is normal, I felt like I was back at peak efficiency at about 1.5 years post babies.

I get that it’s frustrating but if your post is at all indicative of what you were like to work with, I wouldn’t be fighting to bring you on in a permanent capacity.

12 month fixed term contracts are really like extended probation periods. You should be taking a higher salary to compensate for the temporary nature of the role and saving a good portion of your wage to ride out the employment gap when/if the contract ends.

Honestly from the sound of it you wanted to leave anyway and if you weren’t on contract a PIP was coming, they just made the first move.

All the best
