As a customer screamed “I’m going to get you fired!” I thought “thank you, that would be wonderful.” That’s when I realized it was time for a change. What was your last straw?

Even though I solved several of the client's problems, he was still not satisfied and informed my supervisor. I couldn't keep quiet any longer.

I haven't had it yet, maybe I have too much patience to deal with difficult customers.

I didn't have a big explosive moment of anything like that. I noticed I wasn't acting like the person I usually was towards friends, family, and even strangers. I made some changes, namely my job, and I'm much better for it

I still work in the industry, but I had a coworker who after being on a call with a client for about two hours, said: "Don't worry sir, I'll see myself out". He picked up his stuff and left. We never found out what the customer said to him or what the problem was.

So I boomeranged back to PwC after 2 years away and 2 layoffs. I took a role that I knew would be a soft landing and allow me to rebuild confidence even if it wasn’t my long term ambition. Successfully rebuilt confidence and was promoted to SM within a year. But now I’m not being challenged and have that ‘grass is greener’ feeling. I feel like a hard internal pivot is going to piss people off as much as if I left to a competitor. How do I play this ?
