How To Deal With New Job Remorse? 

I am deal with that now it's 11:30 and I am up can't sleep

Same went for me, the job description and what they told me during the interview, is not the same when I started working for them. I was so grateful and ecstatic about the higher position and pay, but it turned out that job is not something i could do, so in that first week, I've submitted by resignation, otherwise my mental health would suffer.

This is why I want to go into business for myself.

@@Native722 what kind of business are you wanting to start I am also starting one myself

@@stephonedmond5809 Honestly I'm not entirely sure, maybe some sort of consulting business.

@@Native722 Been thinking, going into a business of farming and livestock, but I don't have experience and might took sometime for return on investment...

Out of curiosity what was the job? What field?

True. Employers can tell you things, but you really don’t know until you start working unless you have a friend working at the company and team you’re joking already that gives you the full details.

It’s always a risk when you move jobs. You always have to remember that even if you asked in the hiring process about the culture you’re not going to have someone who wants to hire you that the culture sucks. That’s a tad nonsensical for anybody to ever think would be real. The same way that a candidate paints a rosier picture than reality to be desired the company does the same thing. I find that the best way to handle things is to look for between the lines clues in how they speak about things or answer your questions. You can also look for reviews on employment sites but keep in mind negative reviews are more likely over the positive. My measurement of this is partially from hindsight in a red flag that I ignored in one role. I interviewed once for s position and had told them I was on my lunch break ahead of time. Then the interview proceeded to take longer than an hour and may have been close to two. I can’t remember specifically but it took so long that when it was over I had a ton of missed calls and text messages from coworkers at the job I had who were worried I’d been in an accident of some kind. That should’ve been a red flag that this new employer didn’t respect my time as a candidate to have it go in for that long. A example of how this was later problematic was their big sales pitch was money and what people in my role earned. The big sell being made to me was my potential to make serious income and was being told what people averaged the prior year as it was a partial commission role. I soon discovered after I’d stayed that they’d put in place a new commission payout structure where almost every payout was less then it had been for the time frame that peoples incomes were being told to me. And the structure had changed before my interview so it was dishonest to use ehsg people had made as the hype to get me to come over when the payouts they had earned that with wasn’t the payout system I’d be working under. It presented to me a number I’d likely make when that wasn’t true because they made that by being oaid more for their production. That taught me to be more critical thinking during the interview to determine how the fit might be. I interviewed for a interning role for s summer after Lee school with s place and things they were saying stood out for me that they wouldn’t be the right environment for me and so I declined their offer. The place I did go to was an interview where the back and forth was effortless and relaxed and felt right. And I loved the place I went to and remain close to my superiors there to the point we still have lunch and communicate. Sometimes it’s worth being almost hyper critical at times because you have to consider that it something runs you wrong in the interview it could be a bigger issue later because this is the point in time where they’re being overly positive about everything so if something gives you pause at that point it could indicate more problematic stuff later when they’re no longer trying to sell the role to you.

Same my old job was falling apart, I got this new role and I just don’t like it. I’ve been here a month.

Same here! I moved across the state I hate it!

@@Pinesol605 your not alone ❤️

@@Itsjrob_ 😔 It freaking sucks so much! This weather doesn’t help either the snow is non stop! Thank you for responding

I just did the same thing. 3 days in and I'm miserable. Hope it gets better because it would be virtually impossible for me to go back to my old company now because of union rules.

Same with me, but I knew on day 1 that what I was expecting and been told from that final interview and job description, was not the same in actuality, so I quit just to not waste both of our time.

That sounds wildly toxic to argue stuff like that with you 😂

Never go back.
