Forgot how frustrating it is
Laid off after almost 5 years in last place and started a new job a month ago. I forgot just how stressful it is to be new. I also haven’t experienced such a chaotic and unorganized onboarding process like this. Is this what companies are doing now?
This has literally been a throw straight to the deep end situation. I had to present to a c level audience on day 3 after barely even having time to learn what’s going on with the presentation.
I then had my male boss criticize my outfit after the meeting, claiming that it wasn’t his version of professional. I was wearing black slacks, a cashmere blend top with a black blazer over it, and black samba sneakers. Literally never had anyone comment in my 20 year career about my fashion choices and everyone wore outfits like this at the company I was at previously. I found it a bit odd and almost mansplainy to even make such a comment.
I almost regret going back to a job like this after being laid off, it’s just been such a stressful month.
