How do I escape this?
Bro I genuinely don’t get why companies call freshers to another city and then give them literally no work for months I’ve been trying to relocate since we already have an ODC in my hometown too, but they want freshers to stay the base loc for one yr. Like ok then assign some work??? (Finished my training in jan)
Everyday feels the same office, PG, scrolling, sleeping, repeat. No proper onboarding, nothing. And the worst part is the environment itself. I do have friends/acquaintances here, colleagues, but idk man this place just doesn’t feel like it’s helping me grow in any way. No motivation, no exposure, no people around me who inspire me or push me to do better. It’s starting to feel mentally draining. I’m even trying to upskill myself and prep for certifications so I don’t completely waste this phase, but honestly the lack of motivation is hitting hard too. It’s difficult to stay disciplined when your whole routine feels pointless and isolating. (Yeah I work at one of those WITCH companies)
And people keep saying “upskill and switch” but even for that it’ll take time to prepare properly and crack something good 😭 till then how tf am I supposed to survive this mentally? And the pay is too low for all this too 💀 maybe if the pay was good, or if they atleast assigned me some work, I’d probably feel way better about this whole situation. But nah.
I came here expecting exposure, learning, growth and all instead I’m just existing in a random city doing absolutely nothing. And before anyone misunderstands I am grateful that I at least have a job in this market. I know a lot of people are struggling to even get one. But at the same time, this phase genuinely feels mentally exhausting and stagnant.
If they actually had work for me here, fair enough. But making me stay away from home with no work makes no sense at all.
Has anyone else gone through something similar early in their career? how did u eventually get out of this phase?
