Whats the Least Amount of Time to Stay in a Bad Job

What's the Least Amount of Time to Stay in a Bad Job Q: I’ve been at my new job as an executive assistant and I’m already feeling very miserable. How soon can I quit without looking bad? I made the mistake of taking a job that’s heavier on the administrative side and it’s just not the right fit for me. I was desperate because I’ve been job searching for nine months while relying on a contract job for money and that offer was the only one that came through. I also received negative feedback on my performance review today, and I’m trying my best to fix them now while fearing that I could get fired in two weeks. If I somehow make it through this job, how many months until I start looking for another position? What is the minimum to stay in a job that the length looks desirable to HR? Read More: Is it ever okay to leave a job after less than a year? A: It depends on the rest of your job history and your overall situation. If you’ve had a pretty solid job history before this point, then I wouldn’t worry about this at all â€" start looking for something else right now. Having one short-term job, or leaving it off your resume entirely if you’re only there a few months, isn’t a big deal. Patterns of short-term jobs (when they weren’t intended to be short-term, like a contract position) are what can be an issue â€" that’s when employers start worrying about job hopping. But if your resume is already littered with short-term stays (in most fields, that means less than a couple of years), then yeah, there’s more reason to try to make this work. If that’s the case, then you’re in a situation where you need to try to repair a spotty job history, and you do that by racking up several stays of at least a few years each. However, staying in a job that you’re not doing well at won’t necessarily help you â€" especially if you get fired after, say, 10 months (at which point it’s harder to leave it off your resume altogether) or if you can’t get a good reference from them. So you need to factor that in too. Other cases where it could make sense to leave now even if it will add to an already job-hopperish resume are if the job is making you truly miserable for a sustained period of time or endangering your health or safety. There are worse things in the world than having a spotty job history. It’s something that makes future job searches harder, which is why you want to avoid it, but please don’t feel it’s supposed to trump absolutely everything else going on.

Q: My coworker makes rude remarks about my work and my quietness I started in my current workplace doing quite a technical job which involved very little interaction with colleagues. After about a year, I got a new manager and a promotion to a job that involves substantially more work with colleagues. I get reasonably good feedback, but a member of my team who does not report to me comments a lot about my quietness, etc. For example, if I am about to go into a meeting, she will comment about whether I am going to talk enough. Or when I chaired a meeting recently, seven to eight times she mentioned that I wasn’t moving things on as quickly as she would have liked. Afterwards she commented to the whole team that some people “just aren’t cut out for it.” I don’t really know how to handle this; it’s going against the grain for me to speak out anyway, and I think this makes it a more challenging environment. In our hierarchy, she is more junior to me but older. Read More: I’ve been a job-hopper â€" how can I start fixing my work history? A: Your coworker is a jerk â€" seriously. Even if she has legitimate concerns about the things she’s raising, she’s raising them in a rude and obnoxious way. Her comments aren’t okay, and someone needs to shut them down, either you or her own manager. Ideally it would be you, because it will strengthen your standing if you take it on yourself. Ideally, you’d do two things: First, in the moment when she makes a rude comment, call it out â€" for example, “Jane, your comments aren’t constructive. If you have a concern, please come talk to me after this meeting.” Second, talk to her in private and say this: “You’ve made a number of comments questioning my work. If you have a legitimate concern, please raise it directly with me or with your manager. Can you do that?” If it continues after that, let her manager know what’s going on. She’s way over the line, and her manager should want to rein her in. (And if the reality is that you can’t bring yourself to talk to the coworker directly â€" which I realize might be the case, although I hope it’s not â€" then go straight to the manager. But do get it shut down.) Read More: My rude and intrusive coworker makes me feel horrible These questions are adapted from ones that originally appeared on Ask a Manager.

The Trials And Tribulations Of Managing An Office - Work It Daily

The Trials And Tribulations Of Managing An Office - Work It Daily I’ve spent a great deal of time in an office and running a freelance business from home. It would be nice if you could just focus on the tasks at hand but if you were to only do that, things would quickly get out of control. If there isn’t someone to manage the office, operations will come to a halt. I want to share a few of the trials and tribulations you’ll experience when you’re put in the managerial position at work. Here are some issues that will require your attention when managing an office: Keeping Stocked With Office Supplies Consider widely used office machines, like fax machines or printers. These two items alone will quickly run out of their supplies if you have a team constantly printing. Popular brands for the office, like Xerox, have introduced a lot of paperless options but it still means you need to keep stock of Xerox ink for your device. Now imagine if you have one on each desk for each employee! Then you have things like stationary, office furniture that’s been broken, monitors, cables, and the like. A grasp on inventory management is a skill you’ll quickly learn when managing the office. It’s crucial that you’re able to keep a count on what comes in and what goes out. This includes the items used as part of the daily work routine. It’ll be a challenge keeping up with these items but you’ll want to, especially considering the amount of funds you’re dumping into the business. Team Collaboration If you’re lucky enough to be in an environment which gives employees creative control then you can relax (a bit), since they’re self-managed. However, the chance of undertaking this role is quite slim. For that reason, you need to be a leader and have the ability to delegate and manage team collaboration on projects. Managing the team may include: Choosing the right tools and resources for team projects The ability to handle conflict when it arises Developing the right set of tasks and milestones to keep it moving forward Understanding the strengths/weaknesses of the team members to find their appropriate roles This is one of the reasons why team building was such an integral part of school. An office environment requires your ability to act like a team or, if you’re on the opposite position, to at least have some kind of control over its members. The skills required for team collaboration and management will come to you in due time. Stay focused on the objectives and you will naturally learn what’s needed as you progress in your leadership role. Time (Read: Employee) Management Who called in today? Who’s taking their place? Did they make sure to clock out? These questions will run through your head every day when you’re managing the office. It’s hard enough keeping track of your time let along a group of others. You’ll hear the whole gamut of time management obstacles, whether it’s that they don’t have enough time or one of the systems wasn’t working. Again, you must step up and lead these individuals. You can’t expect them to remember every small detail of their work routine let alone the fact that some may have it out for you and want to disrupt your work flow. Systems are what keep the machine running, such as: Keeping an up-to-date spreadsheet of payroll (or using automated tools) Creating schedules that are fair for each individual (which fits their availability) Scheduling the appropriate days (far into the future) for those wanting time off Creating a fallback plan in the event an employee is a no show Yes, this does mean you may need to step out of your position to fill the role. It’s something you’ve taken upon yourself when accepting the position. However, if you strive to develop concrete systems for managing time then you will effectively gain this control over the employees.
