Yes. OP here, and I agree with you. That's why this job and I are mismatched. The things I'm good at aren't working in this setting - and I don't even see much opportunity for me to use my strengths in this position (which wasn't at all clear during the interviews) - and while I know I could learn/sharpen the skills I'd need to succeed at this job I would need my boss to be a better mentor, which she is not interested in doing. Hence my feelings of inadequacy and frustration - a toxic combo for productivity, that's for sure!

I know my future with this company is nonexistent, it's just a matter of when and how I leave this job, and which way out would leave me in a better position. This weekend I was thinking I would come in today and give my notice, but maybe it does make more sense to be asked to leave and then try to negotiate a decent timeframe for my departure. I'm trying to balance all of the icky things about this situation - minimizing the amount of time without a paycheck before I get another job, preventing a future employer from finding out that I'm ineligible for rehire at this company (if I get fired), keeping my sanity while sitting at this desk - to find the best possible outcome, which isn't easy.[/quote]
