I moved out of being client facing for 10 years awhile ago and am in more of a support type of role. I find that I have 5-10 meetings a day and am being pulled in 50 different directions, which in turn leads to me being exhausted in and outside of work. Is this something a person adjusts to or does it seem like it’s maybe not a good fit for me? Any advice on how to best juggle it all?

Quit and get an easier job. Not even trying to be funny … that’s insane expectations and you could probably find most if not all jobs to be better.

I had a job exactly like this and just quit. I took a pay cut but the relief I feel not constantly being on pointless calls every day is well worth it. I have more structure in my day and clearer expectations on what I’m supposed to be doing. Sometimes you just learn by trial and error what works for you and what doesn’t.

Had my 1:1 with my People Lead yesterday to prepare for talent discussions. Said I had a great year - but need to work on being consistent. She said when I’m engaged it’s great but need to keep it going. I’ve mentioned my ADHD previously but I’m sure she doesn’t know all the components of what that means. We’ve had org issues - no clear role descriptions or expectations. Yes I do have a hard time staying engaged (and I’m medicated - Vyvance in the am, dextroamphetamine at noon). Thoughts?
