  1. 1

    I recently accepted a position as an E-Commerce Manager at a small enterprise tech company, but it's turned into a challenging experience. Just three months in, I've found myself managing over 3,000 SKUs across multiple sales channels, dealing with a broken data infrastructure that I had to fix myself, and essentially functioning as the sole web developer for our storefront. I took a $10k pay cut for this role based on promises of unlimited PTO and a good work-life balance, but things have not gone as expected. When I raised concerns about my workload and the occasional weekend work needed for an ERP integration, my COO dismissed my questions about compensation, stating that salaried employees should be ready to make sacrifices. It feels like I'm being asked to lead without the support or recognition I need, especially when I compare my salary of $80k to the $120k+ salaries of the directors I work with. Moreover, the KPIs that were supposed to be established within my first 60 days never materialized, leaving my bonus in limbo. I’ve been delivering on my responsibilities every day, but the unrealistic expectations and lack of communication from my COO have made it hard to feel valued. I’m starting to wonder if I should be looking for a new opportunity where my skills and contributions are better recognized.
