For context: I’m 25, F and currently in a marketing job. This is my first job and have been working for a year since I graduated.
Feel like I’m in a job that’s been rly bad for my mental health. My boss has pretty bad mood swings so the entire team is scared of him. Like everyone else, I’m terrified of talking to him and submitting my work to him.
My entire team and boss is very overworked. My boss has to check all our work individually before we can send to client.
I hold smaller client accounts and he doesn’t put me as a priority. So I’m constantly just waiting for him to approve my work before I can continue and execute stuff. I also work outside of working hours (maybe 10pm-1am/2am) so that I can deliver work to him by 8.30am because I know he’s the most free at the start of the day.
This is my first job so there’s obviously a lot of things I’m not good at but my boss is quite impatient with me. He doesn’t rly take the time to teach me but he expects me to understand.
I’m doing my due diligence and asking my colleagues to mentor me, doing my own research and all that too. But I can’t read his mind so I constantly don’t hit his standards.
The pay and benefits is good for a marketing job. But I feel like my mental health has suffered a lot because of this job.
Colleagues are great too. But everyone is too busy to actually help and properly guide me.
Should I quit my job? Is everywhere else like this?
Edit: just wna add that, while I think he’s honestly quite a shit manager. He’s rly rly rly rly good at his job. There’s a lot to learn from him. He just doesn’t have the time to properly teach lol.
