Not comfortable To mention my name or where I work

When you work someplace and no one listens to your advice and they’re listening to others who’s been there for a very long time not realizing that it’s people like the ones who’s been there for a long time dragging your name in the dust. When you can’t leave this job because you need your bills paid and each job you find of high interest doesn’t pay anywhere near the salary you’re making. Sleepless nights, headaches, unhappy, miserable and when you get to work people say you take things too serious and treat you like a kid compared to others. Sad because you’re stuck and really don’t know where to start or what to even say anymore. Sorry for the run on sentences. #stressed

Don’t even know what else to say because the more you talk in this place the more they look at you crazy.

What do they say that you did or held back from doing? Pointing your finger back at those who pointed their finger at you is reducing yourself to their level. First, you need a strong defense; and that is done by gaining a respectable image. This may involve some reckoning and damage control, but whatever you do, don't make a scene out of it.

There's the matter of you being told not to take things too seriously. Please define things. Work issues? Product quality? Code compliance? These are serious issues, but they have to addressed without presenting yourself as being a whiff away from blowing the whistle. Composure is key. Otherwise, if the work environment is relaxed and mild joking is present, participate until sex, politics, or religion are brought up. If that is the case, stop the horsing around right there; it's your right to stop it.

Other than the aforementioned, it sounds like you haven't been there long. Hopefully, you haven't tried to take over the company since your arrival or complained too much. Either of them are seen as a threat by established employees; and this perceived threat makes them misinform new hires about the evils of you.

I know that your job is serious as my job is serious. I know that finding a good job doing what I'm doing for the pay I'm earning is mighty rare, but I'm not going to conduct myself at work as I were within an inch from being fired because of poor workmanship. Lighten up and take the time to know your coworkers.

If your ideas or advice go without consideration knowing it would better the company or even work place environment...it wasn't meant for them. Losing sleep or internalizing emotions causing physical and emotional harm to yourself is ultimately not worth it. Look for something that would live up to your standards. Or ask yourself, is a lesser paying job that bad when you consider how much happier and fulfilled you could be? There could be things you may need to give up to afford bills, etc like that stop at the coffee shop or what have you. Don't give up if where you're at now if it's where you really want to be. Keep in mind, we cannot change anyone but our own self. Does it truly matter if they don't listen? If it does, to you, then just be patient but persistent and stay on the positive spectrum. Who knows if your ideas could be for your company or not, but timing of it all can be considered as well. You can overcome this and trust your gut. Don't let the naysayers and haters rain on your bright ideas parade because at the end of the day, like you said...YOU gotta pay your bills, not them. You got this!!

Any place that brings you misery is not meant for you. Weigh your options first. Do applications else where to find something that's for you. You can even ease into starting a new career or business. A step a day paves the way. The sky is the limit. Find what makes you happy, then walk away from that miserable place in your life. Pray for better days

This is a situation we all dread. Being chained to a soul crushing job because you can't afford to quit. We will spend 8-15 hrs a day of our life at work so it's understandable to find some level of fulfillment in what we do but if you hate your job yet the promise of a steady paycheck make you feel like you can't move? This is called a life challenge that feels overwhelming as I've been there, but I tell you it's time to evaluate what's really going on.

You have to think through your motives here and ask yourself what's more important to you? Is it money? Or is it the company culture which would motivate you to get up in the morning and feel like you're doing something fulfilling? What would you do if you had no restraints? The money will always follow, but working for an organization that you take pride in being a part of, with co-workers who you get along with and feel like family is far few and between. Your salary can always change but the work culture that a company follows - won't.

So, I also suggest you ask for help. Support is essential. Whether your support comes from friends or family, or a mentor. It's important to remember you don't have to go through this alone.

Goals keep you on track. I recommend you set small goals and timelines to help yourself from bogging down.

And last but most importantly - love yourself. Sometimes the biggest obstacle is your own sense of unworthiness. You are worthy of happiness.

Good Luck

You are trying to change a culture that the organization you work for is heavily supported. The best thing you can do is start looking for other work. Easiest way to find a job is when you have a job. Another thing is yes start saving money. If you have money saved, and you decide to quit or get fired, the money saved will be your cushion. In the meantime stop fighting, accept that things are not going to change and if it bothers you that much start looking for another job. I have been in that situation a couple times, remember every problem has a solution. This isn't about you needing to support yourself, this is just a bad place for you to be at. Good luck.

My advice is to start looking for other work immediately. You should never feel uncomfortable or that degree of stress at work. You owe yourself more! Start to look around Not comfortable To mention my name or where I work and apply for new roles. You can do this!
