When Climbing the Ladder Feels Like Falling Off It

I always thought that getting recognized at work would finally make me feel valued. But after being handed the keys to a new team just because I finished my degree, I feel more lost than ever. Now, I’m the youngest manager in a bustling Chicago office, and every time I try to share an idea, it’s like I’m talking to a wall. But the moment something goes wrong, suddenly everyone remembers I exist. 😓 Honestly, I’m struggling. I can’t seem to connect with my team, and I’m starting to doubt if I’m even cut out for this. Has anyone else felt completely out of place after a big change at work? I’d love to hear your stories or advice. I could really use some support right now. 🙏 #LeadershipStruggles #TeamDynamics #WorkplaceGrowth #JobCareer
