I was promoted to my first manager position last year and it is not at all what I expected. Im getting so stressed that I have been considering stepping down from the position.
Before my promotion I was on the same level as my coworkers. I also would consider most of them my friends. But now these relationships are strained. I am trying to separate my work life and my personal relationships but its taking a toll on me. I am constantly getting the feeling that they are talking about me when im not around. I am finding myself sacrificing company standards because i do not want awkward tension between us.
Im concerned that if I step down from management they will never give me the opportunity again. Has anyone ever been in this position? I am so torn on what I should do that I've been stuck in limbo this past month... i have been doing the job, but not nearly as good as i would like to be doing.
Help me
