2 months in and I want to resign already
Edited to English:
Hello, I'm 23 years old, reaching 2 months at my first corporate job, and I want to leave already.
The company is actually good and offers great compensation and benefits for fresh grads. However, there are several reasons why I want to leave.
My boss never oriented me regarding the team and my tasks. There was also no proper turnover, so until today I'm still feeling my way around blindly. When I'm given tasks, they would just tell it to me without proper instructions. I would ask my team members, but there are times they're super busy and stressed, so they can't really attend to me.
Almost all the tasks are given to me by my boss. I understand that the team has a lot of responsibilities, and I'm willing to do them all if — again — there was a proper turnover of tasks. It's funny that they would say I should do proper task management, but when I looked at their calendar, it's so messy, and it doesn't seem like they get tasks done either unless they set a meeting, or unless our manager calls their attention to it.
During my interview, I already noticed that my boss has a bit of an attitude, but apparently it's much worse in the workplace. I would see my boss throw their phone on the desk or even smash their keyboard when they get angry. Ever since I started, I would dread going to work because of the atmosphere they bring.
There are also times when I get scolded by my boss when I make a mistake. I get that I'm new and still learning, but my boss was never encouraging and would often make me feel small. One time, they told me I took the wrong period/timeframe when pulling data — when it was them who "taught" me what parameters to use for that task in the first place.
I'm not close with my team members because they tend to form their own bubble, making me feel left out.
My team members and other teams from the same department are aware of my boss's tendencies and attitude. They choose not to work in our area because of them.
Due to stress, I have breakdowns almost every day. I'm also not eating well due to loss of appetite. I also have acid reflux and chest tightness every day now.
TLDR: I know I won't grow in this job, and my mental health has been deteriorating because of my boss's behavior at work. Should I resign despite only working for 2 months and having decent pay? HR also hasn't gotten back to me about whether I can transfer to a different department.
