I'm in a relatively well paid job, which I have been in for years and have enjoyed mostly. Lately my job has become highly stressful, I feel unsupported, slightly hung out to dry, and lacking in any upside bar the salary!
I feel concerned about the future, my DH is low paid, and I'm by far the main wage earner. We would never get by on his salary alone.
I have good terms of employment re leave, pension etc, but I'm so fed up of never seeing my DCs even though I'm currently wfh, waking up at 4am in a work related panic every day, 10+ hours of zoom calls daily, and not being able too see a way out. I'm constantly catastrophising, and worrying.
I just can't decide whether to stick it out for the money, or jump ship - probably for a less well paid job with worst terms, and less flexibility/autonomy.
Is the misery and stress just par for the course for a middle management job? The thought of still having all this crap for another 20 years of working life fills me with dread.
