I need help
Hi there,
I’m on the edge of resigning. 7 months ago I was unemployed because I just got out of another job which I didn’t enjoy or felt I was qualified to do because it was mostly about data bases and data reports and well I’m a graphic designer. I wasn’t an assistant of data analytics, I was THE data analyst and the clients were expecting me to give perfect reports. I also had a toxic boss bla bla so I left.
I found this current marketing agency that focuses on the wedding niche and I’m a romantic so I was very interested in it. There was no info though on glassdoor or anything and that should’ve been the first red flag, the second one was when they hired me in a rush because they desperately needed the help. Guys the position they were looking for was web designer and I started doing everything but that. They were even expecting me to lead the design team but they didn’t have guidelines on that. Everything related to design was my fault but I didn’t understand my role, the things they were evaluating me on… My suffering started there. On top of that my boss wasn’t letting go the fact that she wasn’t in charge of the design team anymore so she would give public feedback on slack without knowing any context about the designs we were delivering, even when we didn’t even design them since sometimes the paid media team would design them due to lack of designers. She would just make everything so hard.
I confronted her, it was a whole thing. But after a company event she revealed she was pregnant and that the CEO had let go someone pregnant before. We don’t have any license policies, we’re all contractors and from a third world country so cheap labor of course and he exploits that in a good amount, we even have a screenshot monitor.
Any way, after 3 months I renegotiated my salary since I was in a management position and I should earn as such however, the CEO was expecting me to double the work and fix everything that was wrong in the company. But this is a mess guys, at first I thought it was only my lady boss that was fucked up but then I saw it was most of the top managers. There is no HR team, they hire people without clarifying if the roles already in place are shifting, I don’t know who my real boss is since even the CEO tries to be, there is one guy that’s supposed to be the operations manager but he does everything but that.
The place is so toxic that they even reached out to a company that was trying to hire one of my peers and told them to stop trying to hire him, like wtf.
So right now I’ve applied to 2 companies, did the technical tests but they haven’t responded. I’m also going to start another process but guys… i’m so fed with this place… however, I have an international trip on december and I don’t want my boyfriend paying for everything. I’ve been in and out of jobs so much lately… so I haven’t been able to actually pay my insurance constantly or save for my pension or for myself. But I know my mental health is bad since I don’t want to wake up anymore and I’m seeing everything so bleak.
I’ve been thinking maybe I can be a freelancer but here they pay really bad, competing for work in upwork of fiver in graphic design is hard since the market is saturated but I want to work for first world countries for better payments, idk how to promote myself without having to do social media content or show my face, and I don’t want to work more just to find work… I just… want to live a good life where I can rest when I need, earn enough to decorate my apartment and pay my credit cards. I’m usually looking for a full time job because I enjoy the steady paycheck but it’s taking all my time…
Should I resign today? what do you suggest? Where should I begin? 😖😖😖
