[quote=Anonymous]I've been with my employer for a few years. The pay is terrific, I've received great raises, but I don't think I'm really a great fit. The org is based in a small city where everyone seems to have a connection to someone else-- they all worked for the same previous employer, or went to the same college, or have a parent on staff who helped them get the job. In my division, other than myself and one other recent hire, everyone else was hired with the help of an internal friend or family member. I was hired off the street based on my resume, so I did not come in with an established base of friends and contacts who vouched for them.

It's very obvious I don't fit in when we have staff meetings. All of the friend groups start gathering together. I get a few "hellos" and that's about it. I think I could last there for a few years, but long term, it feels lonely. I don't need everyone to like me and I do my job well, but I also think my position on the outs without close contacts up and down the chain will impact promotions. Let's fact it: People take care of their own. Would you leave or stick it out? [/quote]
