Shift shock occurs when new employees feel unprepared and overwhelmed due to a disparity between expected and actual job roles, impacting mental health and confidence.
Signs of shift shock include feeling lost amid complex tasks, disillusionment with the work environment, and a sense of being unsupported by managers and coworkers.
Miscommunication about job expectations is a critical cause of shift shock, often stemming from exaggerated descriptions or changes in job roles post-hiring.
Recognizing shift shock early is vital for managing it effectively; ignoring the symptoms can lead to long-term damage to self-esteem and career satisfaction.
