Hi, I want to apologise for this lengthy post . But I would really appreciate some kind of advice on my situation
So 9 months ago i started a management scheme for a large company. It started well, but then for the last 4 months I have been very unhappy and felt like I didn't have a sense off belonging in the company as I didn't have an official role and therefore any official responsibilities or accountability. I was practically used as spare labour the majority of the time and generally felt unsupported by my superiors .
If I needed something , I would often have to pester and pester until I got it, and often I was forgotten and could tell that I was being an inconvienence.
After consideration I asked to step down from my current role as I didn't feel ready and to move stores which both my official manager and HR manager were supportive of and arranged for me very quickly...
I start my new role tomorrow... And after a lot of consideration, hair pulling, doubt, and emotions , I know that this company isn't for me in the long term . If I quit tomorrow I'll have no job, yet I'll be able to survive without for a while.
But I have this massive sense of guilt as this has been arranged for me and I know that my new base are looking forward to have me on board. I also hate the fact I'm giving up before I've started my new role , but I know that the department isn't really where I want to be despite what I said when I first asked to stepped down :/ ( I did say I was interested in other department as well as this one)
I changed my mind basically and it was too late to back out .
I'm now left with the question of How the hell do I go about dealing with this situation!?! I'm expected in my new place tomorrow afternoon yet can't speak to anyone until then either as I don't know anyone else. And I won't have officially left the company through the correct process . I could potentially hinder my chance of a good reference. . I've wasted a lot of peoples time and effort. But I can't just start tomorrow and hand in my notice ..
I can honestly and confidently say I've never been so miserable in my life since I started this new job. I wake up dreading going to work, I skip breaks and lunch so I can go home early, I don't enjoy my days off because I stress about going back to work the next day. It's ridiculous that I feel this way, it's just a job! But I can't go on feeling this , all my relationships are breaking down and I'm not the once happy outgoing person I was before this job
What on earth do I do!?
