Man, I was so pumped six months ago when I finally landed this job after being out of work for a while. Felt like I hit the jackpot, you know? But damn, these last two months have been hell. The company got taken over and this new boss came in, and it's like he's got it out for me or something.
Every day it's something new with this guy. He's on my back about everything – how I do my work, when I take my breaks, even how I answer the damn phone. It’s like, can I breathe? Seriously, it's non-stop. I try to keep my head down and do my work, but he’s always there, finding something wrong. I'm not saying I'm perfect, but come on, nobody deserves this kind of crap day in, day out.
And the stress, man. It's eating me up. I can’t sleep right, I’m snapping at my family, and I can’t remember the last time I actually looked forward to going to work in the morning. I used to be happy just to have a job, but now? It feels like I’m stuck in some crappy movie where the boss is a total villain, except it's my real life, not a movie.
I’ve talked to HR, but it’s like talking to a wall. They say they’ll look into it, but nothing changes. I’ve thought about looking for another job, but the thought of job hunting again, after just getting this one, it’s just too much, you know? Feels like I'm trapped.
Sometimes, I wonder if it’s worth sticking around, hoping things will get better. But then, what if they don’t? What if it just keeps getting worse? I don’t want to quit, but I also don’t want to wake up every day dreading going to work. That’s no way to live.
It sucks because I really thought this job was going to be a new start for me, a chance to get back on my feet and make something good happen. But now, I just feel more stuck than ever. It’s like, how did I end up here? How did things go so wrong so fast? I just don’t know what to do anymore.
Sorry for dumping all this. Just had to get it off my chest, you know? Sometimes it feels like nobody listens.
