I moved quite a long ways off to take a new job. It had much better pay (although after living expenses in this city not by much lol) and opportunity to learn new skills. I had gone though the interview process, checked off all the boxes I wanted, and thought everything would be okay. Shortly after I started, they hired a couple interns to do some extra work in my area (but reporting to someone other than me). Since then, I've basically been getting cut out of my job. I'm sure some would be thrilled to collect a check for doing nothing, but not me. I feel like I was lied to on my interviews so I'd come out then they basically replaced me anyways.

I can't just quit, I need health insurance and a minimum salary to pay my lease, and I can't afford to pick up and move again. But I feel like I need to find a way out that won't hurt my future career options, cause the way I'm getting cut out and told to do the bare minimum is killing my mental health.
