For supply chain company drivers: What do you do if you need a rest? It's known that people who are sleep shouldn't handle heavy machinery, but we are not allowed to take breaks or stop for long periods of time as it messes with the schedule, even if we drive 10+ hours at a time.

You should be able to take breaks. If you're under the impression that you can't, I think you should have a candid conversation with your manager.

I totally agree with the other comment over here. No work will be so important for you to jeopardize your life and health.

Hi,

Just started a new job less than a month ago in the tech sector. It was the industry I was fixated on when leaving for. However I realise that I don't think I can cope with the fast paced, lack of wlb, with no support - it's really impacting my mental health already....

I try to hide it from my boyfriend, but its impact is flowing into my personal life.
I feel like a failure, but recognise it might be beneficial to cut loss and quit. Has anyone been in this situation?

Any advice?

Has anyone left healthcare and is now really happy? I’m an MSN, RN with 12 years hospital experience. I’m burned out and tired of making crap pay. I have an opportunity outside of healthcare that would pay more and challenge me in new ways that I haven’t experienced before. It’s a total shift that would really heal my work-life balance, job satisfaction and budget. My only fear is that I would not be using the license and degree that I worked so hard for. I would appreciate any input!!!!
