[quote=Anonymous]Have you ever wanted to quit a job almost immediately? I started a new position that I thought had promise, but it feels like a terrible fit. The first day I came home feeling like it was a horrible mistake, and I’m almost 2 months in. My supervisor is nice but completely disorganized, and she leads our small department so there are lots of trickle down problems from that. It’s a small nonprofit, the smallest I’ve ever worked for, and I hadn’t anticipated problems like being unable to clock in for 10 minutes while my 2010 Windows 7 machine warms up. (Sorry, I’m just being whiny now.)

One of my main goals for changing jobs was to end a terrible commute - and the new place told me on my very first day that they will be moving from the burbs (reliable 22 min drive) to the city center (unpredictable 45 min+ drive) in 6 months. Why they couldn’t have told me this during my interview process is beyond me. I have kids in school still so the commute time really matters to me right now.

My old place will take me back. Has anyone ever done this? In a way it feels extremely awkward to return. There are issues there too, of course, but I feel better equipped to address them. UGH.
