Name change for this. My partner is technical and operations manager at a large chemical plant. He hates it. Unfortunately he is very good at his job, and meticulously diligent, and therefore is totally run down by the company ethos and lack of staff meaning he can't do a good job. He is paid well (although is doing two jobs so not paid well should they be split out again) at around £80k so it's hard to take the leap to another chemical engineering job which might end up being the same shit for less money. He wants to leave the industry but doesn't have the energy to figure out what he wants to do or how to get there. It's exhausting me too. Any ideas of what else he can do?!
