I have been at my current company for almost 2 years. I only took the job because I was laid off from my previous employer and had no choice. I have more experience than the current office manager, but she is constantly leaving work for me to do. I am seriously considering applying for a job closer to home that just opened (I commute 45 mins) but am worried about having to start over. Does anyone else have this problem?

This may not be a popular opinion, but over the last few years I have learned the hard way….do what is best for YOU…these companies feel no loyalty for workers, so don’t feel as if you owe them anything!!!

It's so tough to avoid burnout when you’re doing more than your share, especially with a long commute. Starting over can feel daunting, but if the new job is a better fit for your skills and closer to home, it might be worth it. But listen to your gut no matter what!!

Look starting over sucks but it beats the alternative which is being miserable and it taking a toll on your mental health. I am in the same boat and have been looking for something new because I just continue to feel more and more frustrated as time goes on.
