I recently moved to a new job with about the same role, but I feel the culture of the new place is hard for me to adopt.

1. My previous role was a 8 to 5 one with clock in and clock out with weekends totally no disturbance. I was in it for 10 years.

2. The new place practices a flexi and no clock in or clock out but the other people work till late at nights (12am still receiving emails and sometimes as early as 7am,il I get emails too) and also weekends they remotely work and I receive emails as well. It's giving me anxiety as to when another email might suddenly come.

I don't feel the salary jump is worth it.

I just started for about a month plus, so any advice? Should I like ask management about it? And the perks seems to be a little lesser than my previous company.

if understand correctly, you have email anxiety?

you've been working too comfortably for too long
'flexi' is not always a good thing, time to learn to set boundaries and adapt

you might have noticed some red flags during the interview process so it's time to take that in now as a lesson

I did and know about it. Now I learned something new and I had to really heed from it.

good luck, don't follow the flow, follow your guts, but handle it properly
