I’ve been working in my job for just over 2 years, absolutely loved it to begin with and the team is the best I’ve ever worked with in terms of space and freedom to be yourself. It’s a very demanding job, and in the beginning I was passionate about it, giving my absolute all, and felt like I was really making a difference.
However, at the start of this year, I took on a new project and I think it has broken me. It’s been all consuming, and I’ve let myself get burnt out with it. The project is ongoing and I’ve totally lost mojo for it.
Along with this, the company is going through a bit of a quiet phase, meaning I don’t have anything to balance the demanding project out with, and I’m also not meeting targets (not my fault as it’s not my responsibility to find new clients).
Some internal issues have also cropped up, meaning it’s difficult to get work done by other teams.
I started to feel really disillusioned about 3 months ago, and promised myself if it didn’t get better I would consider my options. It hasn’t improved.
It’s time to consider my options, isn’t it? I feel so guilty at the thought of leaving though!
