Switched gears to survival mode – 10/12/23

Hope everyone is doing okay. This week has really been challenging. No time to breath or even make time for lunch, but working through it too.

I have started reviewing financials three (3) times already this week. Each time I go over one portfolio I see something to correct that I didn’t do with the others and I have to go back and start over. I have to slow down, there’s so much to do and analyze. My mind is working on this and thinking of the other tasks I still have to do. I hesitate to ask for help. For one I have always been able to figure things out or been able to look at a manual and figure it out with little guidance. There’s no manual here and they are okay saying that. Two, no one helps, it’s difficult to find someone who is willing. People get aggressive with you asking for help is too much or make you feel like you’re bugging them. I don’t treat people in that manner. It’s strange because it seems if they assist it’s giving away a secret?

I have been trying to solve a budget situation for two (2) months and I guess asking this person was the incorrect way to do so? I either don’t get a direct answer to the question, I get an unrelated answer or don’t get a an answer at all?! I haven’t been able to figure out a solution to the type of culture and how department’s operate outside of the department I work in. Should I give it another two (2) months to get an answer? If it were me I’d probably be fired. I’m stuck, my supervisor is out and I can’t get answers, don’t have control to be able to resolve it, certainly frustrated. I’m off to have a glass of wine and let it go for now. All the Best!
