Hate my new job
Hi! Looking for some advice.
I started a new role at a small pharma company about 3 weeks ago, and I honestly hate it. I’m on the commercial side of the business and have worked at multiple pharma companies before, so I know the first few weeks/months are usually overwhelming. But I’ve never experienced anything like this.
Some of the issues:
My onboarding has been almost nonexistent. There are no documented processes, SOPs, or training materials.
My manager and teammates frequently give conflicting instructions.
Communication is terrible. My manager will send me a dozen emails asking me to do things with little to no context, then be too busy to answer my questions.
The team dynamic is very negative, and some personalities are difficult to work with.
I was given a heavy workload starting in my first week, despite receiving very little training. When I ask questions,
my teammates act annoyed.
The role requires a ton of travel and evening meetings, neither were ever mentioned during the interview process or in the job description.
Has anyone been in a situation like this? Did it improve after a few months, or did you end up leaving?
I’m ready to start applying to jobs but do not know who will want to interview me after seeing I was at my current job for a month :(
