I feel utterly lost, still. For anyone that has gotten out of a terrible rut, how did you get by? What steps did you take to alleviate the feelings of just general hopelessness in the work force?

I guess this is true. I think it’s so hard for me to gauge what it’s like because my first week was a shit show. The first day they sent me home after 1 hr. Had basically nothing to do all week . And it’s just very odd to have 3 ppl in a very large office . For what? It’s unlike anything I’ve ever been in. And the reporting situation is weird . Two managers of supervisors at my physical location yet i and other supervisors report to someone out of state. While the managers at my location have their direct reports also in other states . It’s really beyond bizarre . I should have known the red flags because the position thAt will be reporting to me has multiple job listings with a huge sign on bonus just to stay 9 months. Bc the turnover is that bad lol .

With the financial firm they reiterated multiple times about the two years , and since I know I don’t excel at phones in general I’m not sure how quickly I would move up. I really wish I had taken the 3PL job. It was 47k , which for my area is still a livable wage. It was more up my alley but again the Glassdoor reviews had me hella worried. But I do regret it. 13k is a lot in a year. That alone covers my rent!!! Pretax tho so it won’t literally cover my rent but that’s all the more I can stash into savings.

My next idea is to ask my manager to work from home til the rest of the office is back. Bc that is apart of what is making this feel awful . Imagine being in an office of like 100 cubicles w like 3 ppl there lmao. One guy was in office all week and I didn’t even know it.
