Hello,
I've been at my new job for a few months now. This is a law firm and everyone I work with are lawyers, except for secretary, accountant and myself.
I share an office with several lawyers. The lawyers collaborate with one another daily to complete their work.
My job is marketing related. I'm the only marketing person at the law firm, so everyday l'm working on my own.
This leaves me feeling very left out of the rest of the company.
From my previous work experience, I've always gotten to know my co-workers from working with them on a daily basis.
Because l'm working on my own, there is a clear disconnect between myself and the rest of the employees.
Originally I took the job because it pays very well, and the company has treated me very well by providing me with a new computer, office supplies, benefits, etc.
Another reason I took the job is because I really need to move out of my parents house.
I really need my own space and to move out would require a well paid job.
Everyday at work, my hours seem to drag and I spend a lot of my time outside of work feeling unhappy.
I am fine with the work the company gives me and they love the results I have produced.
It's just the feeling of not being able to fit in at work, since I'm finding people of different occupations have different types of personalities and interest.
I've been spending time looking for a new job but I'm certain I wont find anything that pays as well, since I am from a smaller town with few job opportunities in my field. I would move to another city, but my parents are booth retired and prefer I stay in the same town.
Last week I asked my supervisor if it would be possible for me to work from home, he said he would discuss it with the other supervisors. Guess we'll have to see what happens.
If anyone has any suggestions on how to best handle this situation, I would welcome your advice.
Much Thanks
