    Feeling Planning Thinking

    I started a new job about 6 months ago, and I've come to realize that it's just not the right fit for me. The stress has been overwhelming, and I feel embarrassed about wanting to leave so soon. I'm now at the stage where I'm considering looking for another position, but I'm unsure how to explain my reasons for leaving. I’ve seen advice suggesting that I can simply say it wasn’t the right fit, which feels honest enough. I also need to prepare for questions about my goals and how they align with potential new roles. It’s a bit daunting, but I know I need to prioritize my well-being and find a job that suits me better.

    Feeling Miscellaneous Thinking

    I've been working as a complaint handler for an investment company for about six months now, and I'm really struggling. I left an easier call center job for this position, hoping for better pay, but it's been overwhelming. I'm constantly working outside my contracted hours just to keep up, and the stress has started to take a toll on my mental health. During my first one-on-one with my manager, I actually cried when we discussed my progress. I was told I need to handle around one case per day, but despite all the extra hours I'm putting in, I often can't meet that target. Some days are better than others, but I feel like I'm just treading water. I've had three breakdowns already due to the stress, and I'm starting to wonder if this job is sustainable for me in the long run. I'm at a point where I'm questioning whether I should keep pushing through or start looking for something else. At what point do you know a job isn't the right fit anymore?
