I have been at my job just over 6 months. It’s really not terrible (sometimes little work to do, which for me is worse than too much, and not really a culture that encourages initiative, but not a toxic workplace), and I’ve received positive feedback so far.
My issue with the job is on a personal level… I am a single mom to a 5yo, and with preschool was driving almost 2hrs each day. With kindergarten starting it’s a little less, but not by much. I’m out of the house 10 hours a day and it’s just hard to get everything else done without feeling overwhelmed. I do get to work from home on Fridays (apparently this started after Covid as a compromise).
I feel like it’s going to look odd if I start applying for jobs after having only started earlier this year, and I certainly can’t use “I want to work from home” as my primary reason. I was at my previous job for 15 months (and was let go); prior to that I had lengthy periods of employment. I guess I can try but I’m wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience and can offer up any advice.
Thanks!
