I know this should go in the career forum, but this one gets more traffic...
Please help me tell my boss I'm unhappy
Here's the deal:
I've been working for ABC since February. I got a promotion after being with the company for about 5 months which was awesome. The problem, however, is that at the beginning I was hesitant to take it because I wasn't sure the position was for me.
After a ton of reassurance from everyone, I went for it.
Two months later, I am just so frazzled. This position should have been somewhat similar to my old one, but it just isn't and I'm not finding myself happy.
I don't know how to articulate this ... I know I need to find a purpose for the whole talk... (like what kind of resolution I want out of it) but I'm really not sure.
There is a position open in the same company that I think I would really like... it's more of what I want to do long term and even though I know it will be crazy, I think I may be happier.
Before I even think about pursuing that, however, I want to talk to my current boss.
Help?
Should I lean towards the other position? Should I stick it out?
I don't know how to have this sort of talk and it's something that needs to get out there because I've been miserable.
