I left a job that I had been at for over 3 years and just recently started a new job and I can’t stop feeling like I miss my old job. I miss talking to my old coworkers and I miss how easy the job was. Since I had been doing it for a couple years the days just felt so mindlessly easy and I could just get my work done while chilling and listening to music or podcasts and not really have to think about it. The only reason I left is because the last couple months management started to get progressively worse and there was a lot of bs going on. Part of me wonders if I should’ve just stuck it out a couple more months to see if things would’ve settled and gone back to normal.
At my new job I feel so incredibly overwhelmed and it’s at a much bigger company and everything feels so overwhelming. It feels so much more corporate compared to what I’m used to and I feel like I’m not adjusting very well. I’m also slightly worried about the training being somewhat lackluster so far compared to past jobs I’ve had. I know I need to give it more time and stay positive but it’s quite hard when I keep thinking about how I wish I was just back at my old job still.
