So about 2 months ago, I switched jobs. It seemed like the right move. Better pay and better management were my motives. But since the transition, I feel out of place and very uncomfortable at work. And I must admit, I miss the people and the freedoms I had at my old job. Did I make a bad decision? Any advice?

sorry to hear this, but I don't see how anyone could have relevant advice without being in the same specific situation themselves

Not much point in dwelling on mistakes. Your options are 1) grin and bear it, or 2) leave.
You can't always be right. At least you're trying.

I felt a bit weird after I left a company I had worked for, for around seven years, after two more months it felt fine, it was a bit like a break up though.

i switched agencies a year ago. still getting to know people and getting to know the LACK of process.

Right? Break up... That's exactly what it feels like.

Your gut knows the truth.
I was freelance for 2 years then took a part time job at a company as their in-house designer. I figured I could do my client stuff after lunch, since i was only working there 4 hours every morning.
It just didn't work out. It felt wrong from the first week of doing it. I lasted a month and had to tell them it wasn't working for me... Shitty but your gut knows.

If its a relationship, do you go on knowing that she is not right for you or do you beg the other girl to take you back or maybe you look for a new girl?

I'm actually in a similar place. I left a great little agency to work at a very large agency (something like 2 order of magnitudes more employees) and same as you I miss the people, the autonomy and some of the work. I expected as much so I view this as a learning experience. I also feel a bit out of place, but that'll happen - big fish, small pond and all that.
Stick it out. I am! :)

That's typical. It will go away after some a couple of months.
Change is good.

Ha Ha... I don't think it's going to go away in a few months. Now I'm starting to receive vague/sarcastic emails in regard to a few projects I've been working on. I appreciate all the positive outlooks though.
