You can hear the voice recording for the diary.
今日は久しぶりに前職で一緒だったアシスタントに連絡してみた。というのも、いまの会社でうまくやっていける気がしないので、少し鬱憤を晴らしたいというのが主な目的。
I recently reached out to my former assistant from my previous company, whom I hadn’t contacted in a while. I wanted to alleviate the stress I’m feeling at my current workplace, where I’m struggling to connect with my new colleagues.
彼女だったら、わたしのことをよく理解しているし、話が合うから会社を辞めてからもちょくちょく連絡を取り合っている。
Given our strong understanding and history of getting along, we’ve been maintaining regular communication even after moving to different companies.
わたしのストレスをぶつけることで、気分はだいぶ楽になった。転職したばかりの彼女は、また転職活動をしているそう。
By confiding in her about my challenges with my current colleagues, I was able to release some of the tension and feel better. Interestingly, she mentioned that she’s already considering another job change despite recently switching roles herself.
わたしは、前回の会社をすぐに辞めてしまったので、また転職はできない。少なくとも、今の会社に２年はいる必要がある。
Unfortunately, due to leaving my previous job within a year, I’m unable to pursue a new job right now. I’m committed to staying at my current company for at least two years, as advised by my recruitment consultant.
そこまでがんばるとして、その後、またサラリーマンをやるか、フリーランスでがんばるか、ここでの努力にかかっている！
Once that milestone is reached, I’ll reevaluate my options. Depending on my efforts with my side hustles, I might continue as an office worker or explore the possibility of freelancing.
To be continued.
