I joined a company with great enthusiasm, but the industry was not doing well; by the time I started working there, the company was already overcrowded and the benefits kept getting worse. Due to the poor job market, I accept all of this; I just want to pass on what I know to the newcomers. However, it seems the supervisor doesn’t care; they only assign me to handle trivial matters, prevent me from getting involved in technical aspects, and often find reasons to pick on me and act arbitrarily. I thought that since it was my first time here, things would get better over time, but half a year has passed and there’s still no improvement; now I’m physically and mentally exhausted. I’m very disappointed to think that all I’ve learned over the years has been of no use. So I wanted to leave this place in peace, but the industry is not good; I want to change careers, yet I don’t know what to do, and I’m living on in indecision.
It seems you need to think carefully about your goals
Don’t change industries casually; you can switch to another company and look around online.
Identify your own position and actively seek job opportunities
It seems like the original poster must be a technical expert – having worked for so many years and possessing extensive technical skills, would you be willing to change careers? Since the company isn’t a mentor at the moment, you need to take the initiative to find one; there are always supervisors who will appreciate you. It’s difficult in a downturn in the industry, but since you specialize in custom manufacturing techniques, don’t give up – otherwise how can you pass on your knowledge to future generations?
It’s likely that things won’t go as planned in most cases; think carefully about whether you should change companies.
I suggest that senior colleagues try working at another company; there’s no need to rush into changing careers. :hug:
You will be able to do it, but it’s not necessarily what others want.
Inside, the company sees your flaws; outside, outsiders see your strengths
Inside, the company sees your flaws; outside, outsiders see your strengths
I appreciate the concern of my wise teachers and honest friends. I applied for the position due to the company’s requirements, and I didn’t expect things to turn out this way. The industry is in a downturn; it’s not due to financial necessity, nor does one have to cater to others’ wishes like a beggar.
