I've been designing for 10 years now. I landed at my current role due to COVID-19 layoffs at American Airlines. I gave this company too much benefit of the doubt when I needed a job; it's been two years of no progress in getting them to staff product managers or evolve their front-end development practice. I got promoted into a management role I didn't really want, and lo and behold, they're expecting me to function as a product manager despite a design manager title. I absolutely loathe what my new expectations have become and it's left me underperforming and feeling completely betrayed and mentally burned out. I honestly just want to land at a good company that isn't broken. I'm doing really bleeding edge stuff with custom web components, but the front-end developers here don't exist or don't want to upgrade their systems. Please help if you can. ๐ I'm barely sleeping 4 hours anymore and my boss just gave me a performance talk. #referral #mentalhealth
If you get pipped, they will usually give you a couple days to accept or leave with a severance (at least most companies do). If that is the case, take FMLA leave. Make sure to set up an appointment with ZoomCare.com for a psychological evaluation to build metrics to refer to.
Someone give this man a referral, I'm sure the advice is useful lol but what he needs is out of this job and into a better opportunity

You got a promoโand youโre not happy!?!? Wow.
Did you not read anything about how the promo forced me into a role I shouldn't be doing?
So, use that promo role to get where you want to be. And, did that promo come with more money?
DM me for Oracle and any open positions in Oracle Job portal relevant to your experience you are interested in.
I can relate. Take a break, take a step back. Don't take it too much on yourself. Try to take it easy. Start applying to outside. Starting fresh at a new position can often help alleviate the situation. All the best!
Should I just proactively quit? I'm afraid when it gets to this point that most places will try to dismiss an employee before they can secure FMLA.

Take a break. Youโre underperforming due to sleep deprivation. Not negating your problems with fighting battles at work. But you need to take 1-2 weeks off on their pay dime, and use that recovery to clear your head and figure out what to do.
It's not just the sleep. It's been like this the entire past year. I feel like they don't want to give me time to recover. Boss was very direct about me needing to fix my performance and upset when I told him I wasn't enjoying being misused as a product manager. I have to reconnect on Monday morning with him and it just feels like I'll either be pipped or let go. They know I'm completely spent
