Hi, first time poster but long time reader so please be kind. I currently work in retail as a manager for a large supermarket. I have been in retail for around 20 years and feel that things have changed massively over recent years with a massive increase in shoplifters (sometimes aggressive) and also in the entitlement of everyday customers, whereby they have become incredibly rude and disrespectful. I decided I was done with the stress and lack of work/life balance and applied for something completely different which reduces my stress levels (although it will be a stressful job, I can leave it behind with no work or contact once I’m out of the office) and I get multiple days off together which I do not get now unless I book them. Im looking forward to reclaiming my life. The issue is, I was offered and accepted the job in January, but the start date was August, and now may be even later. I’m struggling to give my current job my full focus as I have simply had enough, but can’t afford to leave early. I haven’t told them I’m leaving yet as I only have to give 4 weeks notice. How do I make it through a few more months of constant stress, endless hours, no family time and no passion for a job I used to love? Any tips welcome from anyone who has had similar. Sorry it’s long and thanks if you got this far x
