I started a new job a couple weeks ago and although it started really good at first, I am now starting to second doubt my choice.

On top of having severe IT issues which the company doesn't quite seem to care about (it hinders my performance because I can't use any tool to complete my assignments unlike my colleagues), I am now dealing with a very condescending/harsh boss.

The job in itself is feasable if only I had proper tools. The IT people keep telling me: "There's nothing we can do about this" (sure!). I like the tasks. I'm not overly passionate, but I really enjoy the work.

The problem is that I am sensing some friction starting with my supervisor for whatever reason (personality clash) and I'm also wondering if I should pursue something more creative (journalism/media ...).

I'm not one to quit at the first hurdle, but my contract is only for a specific period of time so I am wondering if I should pursue in this field after my contract is up or if I should move onto something more creative.

Is the atmosphere going to get better or will I want to change my career path after this contract is up?

Thank you!

Hi, how are you, MineAgain? I am glad to see you found a new job.

I think this is just "new job" stress, you need more time to feel comfortable there and get familiar with the new environment, maybe make new friends, it's too soon to ask such a question, IMO.

I seem to have loved you in numberless forms...
