Promoted Too Fast, or Just the Wrong Fit?

Ever get promoted so quickly that it feels more like a punishment than a reward? That’s my reality. I’m a young woman, barely six months into my first corporate job, and suddenly I’m the team lead. Instead of cheers, I got cold shoulders and a rumor mill working overtime. Now, every team meeting feels like a test I didn’t study for. My colleagues don’t trust me, and some even hint that I’m just a diversity hire. I’m trying to bridge the gap, but I’m honestly lost and starting to doubt myself. Has anyone else felt like they were set up to fail from the start? I’d love to hear how you handled it, because right now, I could really use some advice. 😔 #WorkplaceGrowth #LeadershipStruggles #AdviceNeeded #JobCareer
