Anyone that’s currently employed and feels their job is a good fit for them what do you do?
I’m in a good job and there’s lots I enjoy about it: the actual teaching, preparing teaching materials, even admin like spreadsheets, setting up IT etc. The parts I’m struggling with and finding really stressful to the point where it’s affecting my mental health are the bits where I have to lead meetings, organise and work with colleagues. This is clearly not playing to my strengths! Trouble is it’s kind of integral to my job! To be honest I’m trying to think of something which might suit me better.
Any ideas? Definately quite open to something different if it makes my life better.
My own experience is that the job - however varied - is never really the issue. It is the manager and the organisation behind him/her that can make, or break, any employment
Have to agree - incompetent, lazy managers make or break the employment experience. I've worked for some shockers.
There are some really interesting observations on Autistic vs NT working culture here: https://autcollab.org
I'm often more badly affected by poor management than my NT colleagues. I'm beginning to understand why.
