This job has been very difficult emotionally. The job has been plagued with ineffective managers and unclear goals. There was zero training after the NHO and the work, while not technically wrong, was polar opposite to what was advertised in the job posting. The work is confusing and frustrating, and managers are aloof and reactive. The beginning of the job showers you with promises of moving up, benefits, excites you to collab with co-workers, and even has a culture team! Despite that the work has been menial and frustrating with near-zero guidance and oversight. The job promised a lot and delivered very little leaving me and my co-workers stranded in a desert of no documentation, training, oversight, or manager interaction.
I thought moving up could be a saving grace, but I was told to get a new position you must do the work of that position for free until promoted. This caused me to rethink my perceived value to Q2. There's zero space for promotion unless I train myself for free and do the work for free.
It makes sense since there is no training for anyone, how could you effectively handle a new position unless you had already taught it to yourself for the company? Then you get the privilege of actually being paid for it. I don't think I should feel lucky to be paid for the free work I was doing based on my self-training. This would be easier if I bought into the Stockholm syndrome but I know the job market has better than this.
