I had a colleague who did. She interviewed while on leave and never went back. Was super up front with us at her new company. She had been working grueling hours while underpaid and said it wouldn't be worth it with a kid. We knew the place was a mess and were happy to have her!

Today I had a very transparent conversation with my TA Director. I was not eligible for the merit increase due to my start date. I was very open about wanting to grow with an organization and even talked about hoping that they could rectify this in someway. She mentioned that she was going to look into it with her boss to see where they can meet me at. Or do you think I overstepped the line By being so transparent about my wants for compensation and within the organization?

Hello! I’m an LMSW in Michigan with 15 years experience in the field doing case management, supervision, and administrative roles. All of my experience has happened in the CMH or VA health system, so needless to say, I am feeling burned out. I have flirted many times with private practice therapy work, but never taken the plunge due to concern about healthcare benefits from my spouse. Is it worth it to make the change? Are we overthinking it?
