After 25 years in a secure job, I left for a better opportunity with a different health system. The job has turned out NOT to be what was promised with a negative work environment and little work-life balance. I saw the signs early on and hoped things would improve but after 2 months in it’s only worse. How much time should I realistically give it or do I cut my losses now? My old employer would take me back in a heartbeat. Do I stick it out, return to old job or find something new? Thanks

If the issue is cultural and you don't particularly anticipate it getting better, why wait? You might as well go back to somewhere you were able to stay for so long. Sometimes we take a risk and it doesn't work out and that's okay.

I am so sorry to hear that. I have been in your shoes before and I know how hard that can be. I would probably cut my losses now. It isn't worth the stress or anxiety.

PLEASE, go back. 25 years comes with a PEACE of mind. That's so much more...than anything you can buy. Maybe you should negotiate with you previous employers, if that's possible. Remember "Continuity of Care" is GOLDEN and PEACE. GOOD LUCK, and GOD BLESS 🙏
