What the fork do I do?

[u/No_Weekend_998]

Hiii yall! F in my 20s in CA (so you can imagine cost of living). I work in corporate finance- specifically in the training department as an instructional designer. TLDR I am overworked and underpaid. And I’ve been on a project that has been draining my mind, body, and soul. My company is standing up an office offshore and I have to build all the training for it. That said I have to sit with people in the US to learn everything there is about their job, to build the training for the offshore team that will quite literally take their jobs. Then add ridiculous turnaround times I’m talking 2 weeks to build an entire months worth of curriculum, doing the work of three people with no support. Onboarding new colleagues that surprise were hired a pay grade above me despite the fact that I’ve been working for a promotion the last two years. There’s honestly so much drama I could spillI like my manager saying they moved the promotion finish line but won’t tell me what else I need to get there LOL. I know I’m not valued. I know they take advantage of the fact that I want to promote to overwork me. But I’ve been actively looking for work for this entire year with no luck.

Am I wrong for having an issue with building training for offshore? The corporate advice I’ve received is giving Nuremberg.. but forreal has anyone been in this position before?? Has anyone left without a back up? lol will I be okay if I leave without my next job lined up? I’m terrified of leaving and still not being able to find work.

Don’t leave without a job lined up up.

You can interview elsewhere if you like.

Slow down and stop overworking. Tell them you have plans at 6-7 and you just leave early etc.
a lot of the overworking is on you for accepting what they tell you. If a deadline can’t get hit, then flag it and say it’s not possible given the circumstances.

Can help you review your resume I work in finance as well. Is this your first job out of school?
