I had the same issue in my last 3-month probation. A super-tight team of super-tight, stuck up jerks who were always super nervous about what I did and even paranoid.

I felt like I could not integrate with them no matter how hard I tried, and after 2 months there it just didn't work out.

That was a year and a half ago. Since then I am happily self-employed.

Sounds awfully familiar, I feel you bro. Glad you found your happiness in self employment. I could never do that.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

4 man job, taking itself too serious, protecting turf, hard to work together... is this not a Splatoon parody thread?

Good luck, vivister



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

Good luck with the new job. It's great that you were able to get out while still getting a recommendation from your bosses should make things easier for future interviews.



Signature goes here!

Congratulations, sounds like that job wasn't worth it. Working with idiots is hard.

Hey man, good luck. We spend so much time at work - as much or more than we do with family and friends. So it's essential that we enjoy our jobs. This change sounds like it's for the best. I hope you find a great workplace with supportive co-workers.

Good luck!

But also lucky timing if you're playing games like UC4 and Valkyria Chronicles Remaster =P

It's actually really great timing. Mirror's Edge is coming up as well as E3 and the Euro 2016. Not to mention my gigantic anime backlog. So the new Job better don't come too soon^^

Now I feel kind of jealous. Maybe I should lose my job too =P

But do not worry about me. Thanks to my qualifications and contacts I should be able to get a job within the next few months, maybe even by July. And even if it takes longer I got ample saved cash and a very generous government welfare program so I won't have to compromise any of my expensive hobbies in the forseeable future.

..

i do wish you luck but that part makes me scared.   you never know how long it will take to find a job,.. the entire world economy could collapse in the next few months with trump as the republican nominee.  protect yourself,.. be frugal.
