I hate my “ideal” job
I’ve been in the field for 6 years and landed a care manager role at an insurance company, it was my ideal role due to pay and being able to WFH. Fast forward, it’s been one of the worst jobs I’ve had.
The metrics are impossible, productivity expectations unrealistic & inhumane, they also micromanage us to hell, it’s insane. Oh, and they record our screens and track all movement throughout the day, again insane.
I’ve only been here a little while and I’m over it. Metrics and being watched 8 hours a day where any small time I take (water, bathroom, a breather between calls) is questioned is giving me anxiety.
Also, feel like I’m being gaslight some days because everyone else on my team has been here 10+ years and they’re so deep in the Kool-Aid that even after the company decided not to give us a raise this year due to “not meeting their bottom line”, people are still incredibly loyal and if you complain about the increased unrealistic expectations you’re bombarded with toxic porosity from managers and colleagues alike.
This is the most I’ve made in any SW role salary wise, I know I’m not stuck but with the job market how it is and the salaries I’m seeing in my area, I feel stuck af.
