Making a jump after 5 months.. horrific boss..
Anonymous because I think it would be surprising who I was as I've been here for 15 years and am VP level. I legit have the absolute worse boss ever- I can't even describe how lazy and inefficient they are. They don't log on until 11-12.. No work gets done Mon-Weds and every Thursday someone starts kicking them in the ass and it's like they now have a sense of urgency. So the net net is by Friday late afternoon I'm getting dumped on after showing up- working hard- every single day. My deliverables sit on their desk for at least a week- until people are screaming and then it's the weekend when I have to log in and deal with their absolute BS. Worst part- I don't need this shit- I've been in the industry for over 20 years- I've never had such a lazy micromanaging boss before. One of my former colleagues and their recruiter/staff have called on me but I feel really bad about having a less than a year gig on my resume. Tell me younger people- have times changed? Does it matter that much? If I say f this and move on- how long will this mark of "job hopper" hurt me? Anyone else have a short stint on their resume?
I took a horrific role at a family office and knew within 3 months it wasn’t healthy to stay. Ripped the bandaid at 7 months. Best decision I ever made and haven’t looked back since. During my search, the short stint didn’t seem to be much of an issue and most were understanding. Life’s too short to stick around at a job you hate.
