Twice a week we publish problems that will feature in a forthcoming Dear Jeremy advice column in the Saturday Guardian so that readers can offer their own advice and suggestions. We then print the best of your comments alongside Jeremy’s own insights.
I think I have made the biggest mistake of my life. I resigned from a job where I became rather stressed and, as a result, decided to apply for a new job. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the people I worked with and the bosses liked me.
The new job is not what I expected at all and I do not wish to stay as it is not the right fit for me.
When I left my old job, my boss had said I could go back if I didn’t enjoy my new job, but I’d feel awkward asking for it back as everyone signed my leaving card! I don’t know how I’d face everyone, but I think that would be the right decision for me.
Do you need advice on a work issue? For Jeremy’s and readers’ help, send a brief email to dear.jeremy@theguardian.com. Please note that he is unable to answer questions of a legal nature or to reply personally.
