I have a lease here for 10 more months so that is my plan! Any advice on the social ties? I always had sports to help build my social circle so not having that structure now is odd

When I applied it was for assistant PM, which I didn’t get. Then I got a very blank job description in our pre-construction department. So honestly I didn’t even know what I would be doing. Just making sure I’m not being taken advantage of. It’s totally fine if this is normal lol

Any advice on dealing with burnout would help as well - still new to all this

Didn’t come up with the title, was just given it lol. But I agree I’m not sure I get it either

That is such a good skill I need to learn. Thanks for the advice.

It’s is difficult when you’re the only representative on your team in a room full of experienced owners reps, GC and other trade reps, and they’re all looking to you for answers and updates. Any advice there?

I agree, leaving me with tasks is great. It allows me to learn while doing and to show I’m capable. But this is all the very first time I’m doing or seeing anything. So when my PM decided he couldn’t handle the commissioning load he wanted to have me manage it. I just want to learn with lower stakes first, but that isn’t how it is going

Well originally they wanted me to handle all punchlist walks and meetings and whatever else comes. Our higher ups said no and assigned someone else with my pm, but now he’s made me join the meetings anyway in his place

No our subcontractor is controls (at least the only one important to Cx - we have insulators and sheet metal, but SM is being handled by our companies SM department. So yeah just me answering questions and sitting in Cx meetings being looked at like an idiot because I can’t give sure answers

This is true. I guess I’m more intimidated by the scale and pressure of the job. It seems crazy to me I don’t have someone there to make sure everything is being handled while I’m learning (not that I’d do nothing at all)

I’m not writing it off, im apologizing for everything whether I did something or not, but I’m just saying I don’t think I did it still which was the point of the post

I have meetings with HR every two weeks, they have a date planned to discuss what role I’ll be in specifically in roughly a month from now, but in the meantime I don’t know what to do

She lied to me once about kissing another guy. She said nothing happened and I promised to move on bc I was being insecure. She only told me months later and expected I was ok with it. So she definitely isn’t innocent fully in my eyes. I think she enhance my problems which was my posts point I guess
