Hear from those who reached out for support
“My job isn't what I thought it would be when I accepted the offer and I made compromises with salary and benefits to take it. So, I'm struggling with whether to stay and wait it out or job search.”
“I feel like I'm trapped at a job that I dislike very much and isn’t at all what it used to be and that makes me stressed and unhappy.”
