I'm really unhappy in my current role. It's incredibly stressful - not helped by the fact that my boss is completely incompetent. I also recognise that I have a lot of holes in my knowledge that I'm currently unable to rectify (no time!). I just generally feel like I'm rubbish, that everyone is judging me (not just imposter syndrome talking here - I have had some negative reactions to my work)
I have an 18mo and 4yo. Working full time with a 3 hour commute (wfh 1 day). My relationship with husband is strained, he's currently studying and working lots. it's all just getting too much for me.
I would love to just quit and concentrate on finding something local but we really REALLY cant afford to be in a situation where I'm out of work, plus there aren't a great deal of jobs here. On top of that I actually am starting to think I'm in the wrong job - never loved it but it's just getting worse.
I have thought about asking for voluntary demotion and wfh permanently. That's the only way I can see surviving where I am but is that a stupid idea? no idea if manager would be onboard with this or not (they are hiring but not wfh)
I don't know where to go from here - help!
