This is the best answer I've read here. I don't think blaming you helps here. I've personally seen things like this happen to me. Sure I've learned more about how to prevent this from happening in the future but it's still very aggravating.
Basically, don't give this job your everything. Do the work that's required of you and like the parent thread says leave yourself a bunch of energy. A technique that's worked out well for myself and other friends in the past is taking the first couple hours of each day to do personal projects and then go into work.
Don't give them the best hours of your day.
- scrumper 12y agoThanks and good continuation of the point. I'm often the first to say "pay your dues" to complaining youngsters, but OP has done nothing wrong and instead seems to need some guidance on how to maximize the value of his/her days while working out of this unlucky decision. All I would say is that it's important that OP does try to find another, more engaging job, either in that company or elsewhere. It would be a shame to develop a permanently half-assed work ethic at 21, especially when he/she seems to have the energy and moral fibre to work hard. Treat this as a short-term situation.
