Confused
I am working in a food industry from 15months after completing masters in the same domain. The company I am working currently is an MNC with a goodpay. But the problem here is I am working in a 3P unit where I have to work with the owners of the unit. Now only me and my manager are from our company.Rest, all the employees and the staff are from the 3P unit. It has been hard to execute my thoughts in the factory. Workers and staff here often hesitate to agree to my thoughts/decisions fearing their owner. My owner always has a justification for the wrong practices here but doesn't co-operate with me for a solution. My company has given me full freedom from their side. How will my company notice me if I don't bring-up any visual changes in the factory. I have tried discussing this with my seniors.I am the youngest employee of our company in India so I guess they might be thinking that I am over-reacting.
With this experience what should I do now.should I start applying to some other job?

You're not overreacting at all. Workplace dynamics matter! If your leadership isn’t supportive, a new opportunity could be worth exploring.

When internal resistance is this strong, have you tried proposing smaller changes first? Maybe a slow approach could help?

Your current setup limits your ability to create impact. In the long run, a company that gives you full authority over execution would be better for your growth.

This is tricky...Since you’re in a 3P setup, influence is tough without direct control. Have you tried getting small wins first, quick, visible changes to build trust?
