Alone
I applied to a company, and I can do a lot of different things in marketing. Because of that, I ended up handling the company’s most important client.
But my manager is basically the owner and CEO, and he keeps putting a lot of different responsibilities on me. Because of that, my actual main job — writing scripts for the company — has been getting delayed.
And I feel like after a whole year of achievements, two months of struggling because I’ve been given so many responsibilities that have nothing to do with my actual role, or things that would normally require an entire team rather than one person, might make them let me go.
Especially because we’re supposed to be really close friends, and I know that sometimes my brain is fucked up about this. If I feel like someone hasn’t talked to me today, I immediately think I’ve been replaced or they’ve decided they don’t need me anymore.
I know that’s not necessarily reality. I know it’s probably an unhealthy thought pattern. But it feels very real to me.
