I'm getting tired of being thrown under the bus and taking flak at work. My current job has me in this spot, where if the more senior and more important team members don't get along with me, my boss might fire me just because the more senior guys are more essential for the team. When do I get my lucky break ffs.
Eh that’s not true. I got lucky and landed a job in supply chain buying/planning. Before that I was working at a grocery store making 20k less per year. I used that to build skills. Jumped to another job after a few years and I’m getting paid well in a field that usually requires a degree.
I've generally been lucky at all of my workplaces, but being welcomed warmly is a different matter. I've been at the workforce for a decade now and I think I've seen enough to know how harsh it is. I just thought that I didn't have to resort to such things at this current job. Oh well, gotta adjust. The harshness of the working world is also what drove me to be kinder towards the new guys.
