I just started a new job on Monday as a Project Manager for an Ad Agency. They have a university as a client and I was warned the client was crazy.

Now. I inherited the project 3 months in. Idk what was promised. I just have mostly the start dates of each "course" and I know we need organic and paid social media posts and videos.

But I was never onboarded or trained. My boss won't respond to my questions or requests. The old PM was a mess and the files are a mess.

New projects and requests keep piling in. Meanwhile, I still don't know the process, goals, or priorities. They basically just said "here, feed the AI transcription of our calls about this project into AI, and have AI train you."

Am I doomed? Do I jump ship or is it salvageable? The red flags also include: they're hiring me as a contractor instead of an employee to save money, but the pay is ok and the job market is shit. Also the job is flexible hybrid and in a co-working space, but I showed up today and no one (not even the boss was there). (It was just the boss and his partner there on Monday and Tuesday, the rest of the employees work remotely).

I know the last PM quit. I really wanted to have a good job and try to make it work. How long do I give myself the chance to figure things out and how long do I stick things out to see if I'll make it?

I wish I was starting a project from zero... Not inheriting a mess.

Hi!

Today when I wiped there was some brown blood on the tissue. Is that my period coming?

I'm two days late, last period 13/07 and last sex 25/07. I'm waiting for my period but testing negative with digital tests (today, yesterday...)

Do you think it's my period coming or I could still be preg?

I do have the silver IUD but I'm sweating, nervous

Eu conheci um cara muito especial na praia, ele eh hippie e nomade, mas realmente tivemos uma conexão sobrenatural de almas gemeas. O beijo era de outro nundo. Só que aí que eu tava só uma semana la naquela cidade, de ferias, e ele é nomade sem celular e emprego fixo.

Mas enfim. Tivemos varios momentos e encontros maravilhosos, dias perfeitos, risadas, beijos. E tinhamos combinado faz tempo de passar meu ultimo dia inteirinho juntos. Só que aí choveu. E as vibes do dia ja estavam ruins. Tomamos café, passamos num brechó e ele comprou ervinha pra fumar mas veio mofada. E depois eu fiquei dormindo no quarto. Só que ele tirou o dia off do trabalho dele de pintar casas pra ficar comigo. Mas ficou só esperando na sala sozinho. Umas 3h. Aí quando eu saí eu ainda tentei ir pra minha terapia online. Mas nao deu certo. Aí tentamos sair pra andar e ele compartilhou que se sentiu abandonado e nao valorizado hj, que eramos pra ter passado juntos mas no fim nao passamos. E hoje eu dou razao a ele, total, mas naquele dia eu tava cansada e com o joelho doendo de uma queda e confusa, entao comecei a ataca-lo falando q o q ele queria mesmo era sexo, e agr q ele viu que nao teve, tava imaturo e reclamando, e q ele nao era nada de Luz e Maduro como ele se faz ser. Teve voz alta e choros na rua. Só que eu consigo voltar ao normal e carinhosa rapido depois de uma coisa assim. Mas ele nao (normal). No fim, conversamos e brigamos mais algumas vezes, e no fim, decidimos sim ir para um hotel e dormir juntos finalmente (antes nao dava pq estavamos em um hostel). Oq eu nao compartilhei aqui no texto foram todas as vezes que ele me elogiou, se declarou, fez joias de fio de aço pra mim, fez café da manha pra mim. Entao foi uma conexão muito muitissimo especial, mas eu to me achando um lixo por ter desperdiçado o ultimo dia e nao ter feito ele se sentir apreciado. Agora ele nao tem cel e talvez nunca mais vamos nos ver. Mas eu devia ter aproveitado o momento e o amor, em vez de ter feito tanta piada sobre ele tar mentindo sobre o amor dele, sobre ele ter varias namoradas, sobre a gnt nao dar certo pq só ia brigar no futuro. Era tudo voz interior insegura falando. Mas eu devia ter só curtido o amor e o momento. Agr estraguei as lembranças tao lindas. E dói. Oq fazer?

Starting with the formalities that involve texting and meeting someone is boring, don't you wish you could just start off from "omg my boss was such a bitch today"? Haha

Anyone wanna try that rn?

Like I said in an earlier post, I did quit my job, but I promised to stay through the end of the term, so, until June 26 in my case. However, my main teacher has been a bitch to me. While she was previously all smiles and compliments, she's now cold, dismissive, and will shut down any of my attempts to have kind chats with a cold and condescending task request, often interrupting me in the middle of a sentence. I've asked her what's up and I've told her my quitting has nothing to do with her and I've shared about my personal struggles, however, it's been horrible being so close to her lately.

Any tips on how to survive the next few weeks?

Thanks,

Hii!

Not sure why I'm posting but I just wanted to share I just quit my job as a para. I lasted approx. 8-10 months at the school, and it was my first time working at a school, but oh my god, this job is HARD!

As an introvert with ADHD, it was especially tricky for me to keep up with the list of resources for the lessons that we had to prep, the list of things we had to do for the environment/classroom everyday, the rigidity of the routine (timed to the minute), how early it starts in the AM, the emotional toll, the physical toll, the supervision aspect of playground duty, the (trying to be) stern and being disrespected/ignored by BABIES (3 yr olds). The way we have noooo choice in how anything gets done. The constant corrections and micromanagement of the main teacher in the room. And worst of all: the fake, clique-y, judge-y and rude coworkers.It was too much for me.

Good luck and my respect to y'all!

This job is HARD!!!
