Thrown Into the Deep End at My New Government Job

Ever started a new job and felt like you were tossed into the ocean without a life jacket? That’s exactly how I felt after joining a government call center. They rushed my promotion after just three months, and my so-called training lasted barely an hour. Now, I’m fielding nonstop calls for eight hours straight, and half the time, I have no clue how to answer people’s questions. Last week, my boss told me to speak up if I was uncomfortable. The moment I did, she made me the main point of contact—because, apparently, there was no one else. It’s like being rewarded for honesty with even more stress! How do people survive this kind of pressure without burning out? If you’ve been through this, I’d love to hear how you managed. 😅 #WorkplaceStress #CallCenterLife #CareerStruggles #JobCareer
