I recently transitioned from working at an advertising agency to a sales position at a news station, seeking new challenges and experiences in my 20s. Unfortunately, this move has turned out to be quite difficult. For months, I struggled to receive proper training and support from my manager, which led to feelings of burnout by May 2026. The environment became toxic, with colleagues who had been there for over a decade treating me with a lack of respect. After expressing my concerns to my manager, he suggested I take a vacation, which provided temporary relief until I faced a panic attack triggered by reading work emails. My parents, who have corporate experience, advised me to 'push back' while adhering to the rules, so I did just that. However, my Director of Sales and manager accused me of not being a team player for simply following the established procedures. They provided no context for their claims, and I felt unfairly judged. Things escalated when my director mandated that I report my daily activities every morning and evening, despite him already being included in many of my emails. This micromanagement is frustrating, especially when I know I'm working hard. I've learned that a former colleague faced similar stress and ended up quitting. While I'm not at that point yet, I'm planning to keep my head down and appease them while I search for a new job. In hindsight, I wish I had read the Glassdoor reviews before accepting this position, as they seem to reflect the reality of working at this news station.
