DEAR ABBY:<\/strong> I\u2019m struggling with what to do about my first job out of college. I\u2019ve been here for four months, and while I expected a learning curve, I didn\u2019t expect the environment to feel so hostile. My boss yells at me across the office for small, easily fixable mistakes. The latest incident involved her slamming her hands on the table several times and shouting, \u201cWhat are you talking about?\u201d while I was trying to clarify a question. I couldn\u2019t even get my words out.<\/p>\n I\u2019m in the second round of interviews for another job with a different company, and I\u2019m torn about what to do. My parents think I should stick it out to avoid being seen as a job hopper. But I feel anxious going into work every day. This environment is eroding my confidence.<\/p>\n Furthermore, I will be moving to a new town with my fiance next year, so I\u2019m wondering if it\u2019s smarter to stay for another several months or take the new job (which will be remote, if I get it) even though I\u2019m worried I might not like that one either.<\/p>\n Am I too sensitive? Should I leave a job this quickly, or push through until my move? How do I make the right decision when I feel guilty no matter what I choose? \u2014 CONFLICTED IN NEBRASKA<\/p>\n DEAR CONFLICTED:<\/strong> This is your first job. Because you will be moving next year, rather than jump to a new one, stick to the one you have because it will look better on your resume. Your boss may be difficult, but she also may be dealing with stresses about which you know nothing. It might benefit you to talk with the other employees about how they cope when something like this happens. They may be able to offer some helpful suggestions.<\/p>\n
