Genuinely, how do you maintain a full time job and interview? I left my corporate job a few months ago for a very small company making more money, thought I would’ve been living the dream.

Well, I’m living a nightmare. The money is good, but I’ve never been so anxious and miserable somewhere before. I’ve already had a mental breakdown and had to go home half way through the day and lie about why I was crying and had to leave. There is only 3 of us, there’s no team, I work beside my hostile employer all day and I’d take back corporate bullshit any day to get away from this!

Anyways, I’m determined to leave ASAP. When I was at my previous job and wanted to leave, I applied to over 100 jobs and heard back from 2, one phone interview that ghosted me and the one I have now.

Since applying for jobs this time around, I’ve had 1 in person interview last week and 3 more coming up within the next week. I’m still waiting to hear back from the interview already had and if I got it, none of this would matter.

I’ve genuinely never had this many interviews before in such a small period of time, what do you even tell your employer? At my previous job, I had personal days to use that I could use by the hour, I never had to stress about it! Here, I don’t have any. Though my employer has been flexible and allows me to work from home or do half days etc, at some point they’re going to either catch on, or get annoyed and start becoming even worse.

Some of these places don’t even give you a choice.. 2 of them have given me a time and place and it’s either show up or F off. They’re good government jobs that I’d never want to pass up so moving on from them isn’t an option.

I’m at the point where I’m asking myself if I should just quit and hope I land one of them even though I know that’s the absolute worst thing I could ever do to my family. Both me and my partner work full time and I do have savings so I would be okay but that’s only on the assumption I land one. I’m so so so beyond done with this place that it sounds more and more tempting everyday. Why does all this have to be so hard?😅😅
