Fresh grad in SG starting full time job
This is probably a phase that everyone faces before as they start their first full time job and it’s not uncommon. But I still have to write it out because it’s really bothering me and I have no idea how to cope with it…
It’s only been a few days yet I’m already feeling miserable. My job requires me to stand from morning till evening with 1 hour of lunch break. Saturdays also have to work half day. I think I’m still trying to adapt to this kind of lifestyle, thus the feeling of misery.
I didn’t know I have so much discomfort in my chest until when I shared it with a trusted someone of how I actually felt, tears just flow out uncontrollably. I’m having difficulty with this “change”.
When I am faced with a difficulty and tried to ask someone, the someone would tell me to ask another person from another department, while that department tell me to ask someone else from my department, but my department ppl tell me to go find that department, it’s like a merry-go-round.
Another thing, in this fast pace environment whereby everyone is walking here and there trying to do things really fast and also accurately, when I’m not sure about things, I have to try to be very very thick-skin and ask someone when in doubt, even though they are busy… and their face would be really nasty… (not in a good mood kind of nasty) it’s like, you are really on your own out here… I feel like being thrown to the sharks.
Ok. before you mention about the “strawberry gen”, I’m trying really hard to cope with this, to try to chill and find someone to talk to, and also seeking opinions from ppl here. So please don’t be mean in the comments.
People who have already passed this “phase” please tell me how I can deal with this in a healthy way, how to encourage myself and make myself to be in a better mood.
