I have been working in hospitality as a senior manager for over 15 years, I am
With my current employer just over three years.

In my current job I have a senior role and I am paid very well for compared to most in my position. My problem is that I work over 60-70 hours a week with one day off and it is making me miserable and very mentally ill. during peak times we have no staff and I am doing the job of several members of staff (there’s even days I have to clean the loos because we don’t have the staff)

I am Physically not fit for the heavy lifting and long hours on my feet now. I’ve asked work for a change to my hours and it’s been refused due to no staff/needs of the business.

Anyway I’ve been offered a new role Monday-Friday 9-5 as a manager in the charity sector, with the same rate of pay and it’s closer to home.

My head says go to the new job but my heart knows I will really miss my current team and certain parts of my job. On paper it seams an easy decision but what’s better, a job I enjoy (sometimes) or an easier life overall?

Thank you all so much for your advice.

This makes me feel a bit better. I’ve tried calling the manager and he keeps hanging up on me.

I directly emailed my resignation from my work pc and copied in the director so I don’t have their email addresses or contact details at all. I am not sure they know what’s been said to me since but I don’t think they would care either.

I feel awful for my clients and the managers who are left with my department to run because he has been so short sighted.
