Anyone else hate their job and want a complete career change?

I work in leadership support and have done for the past 6 years or so, and for the past few years I've been going back and forth about if I want to continue doing it and I've gotten to a point now where I hate it. It's like dealing with children and I just don't want to it anymore, and this feeling is heightened by the fact that I have children of my own! I'm currently halfway through a secondment and I'm tempted to resign. I don't want to go back to my home role either as that's also leadership support. I have a screening call tomorrow for an internal FTC role (not leadership support) which I'm really hoping I get.

It's Sunday and I already have emails and messages to action when I log in tomorrow, and I REALLY don't want to log in! I don't want to be at someone's beck and call anymore, I don't want to show a grown person how to join a Zoom call, I don't want to chase grown people several times to complete their actions, I just don't want to do it!!

Does anyone else hate what they do?

I worked in secondary education and began to hate it. The first Monday back after the summer break was looming and I knew I couldn’t face it, so handed my notice in and applied for university, now I’m a student paramedic and, although stressed, couldn’t be happier with my decision!

good luck for tomorrow!

Wow! Well done to you - that's amazing! I want to go into HR, talent acquisition specifically, but it's so hard when you have no experience in that field!
