It's only been 3 months since I join this company but I can't tahan being "used" by others and feel like I wanna quit my job. Can safely say I experience "extreme" culture shock here. Everyday I rush to deliver tasks bcz I'm helping 3 seniors, with tons of backlogs and I don't even learn anything new. I work like admin + assistant, instead of my original role. I only do stuff that's already been done by others, not contributing new ideas or anything exciting. This is not what I sign up for ☹️

not sure it will be a good idea for to resign. If you leave fairly quickly, you were just unemployed longer. Then when you looking for new job, you don't have to mention the job on your resume.

HONESTLY... Urghh suxx Being stuck doing everyone else’s work and not learning anything new is a quick way to burn out. If you’ve tried talking to your boss and nothing changes, then maybe it’s time to move on. You deserve a job where you feel valued and challenged, not just used. Don’t settle for less than what you signed up!!

I do value how the workplace environment, workload and also colleague. Please go job hunt again, that really doesnt sound like a good place for work. Since you planning to leave early, please dont put this job on the resume. To me... it looks bad due to short period of time working.

If that's what you're not sign up for.. best is to leave the company. You're not overreacting, what you deal right now is real. So yeah trust your intuition if resigning is the good choice to make

Try to learn as much as you can. I enjoy all senior me a lot of works. How can we improve their manual administrative and convert to productive.
You may not need to change the process, but understand it and know how to change it.

please give yourself some time to adjust with the new workplace. usually it will take a while for you to get the pace, especially when tasks don’t align with your aspirations. Jumping to another job would guarantee you to get the job that you want

It sounds like it may be a toxic workplace, especially if that is very common for boss to insult/demean you.

I understand your pov, but you can choose it as a new set skills.
Back then i was in a company that make me do paperwork eventho it is not my job. In the end, my engineer give out good words to the boss. I got increment and great bonus.
Now im in different company, they won't even let me help with anything and i thought like it is better from my previous company since it is less work. But then, they told the ops lead that i am useless.
So it is either be useful or useless..
