I see people in here don’t know how to give helpful advice at all. I’ve made the decision to just put my foot out of the door. I’ve voiced my concerns to the program manager. They were ignored. I think I’m willing to take a pay cut to get my life back. I work 100-125hrs a week I also work 7 days a week. The hours aren’t the issue. I’ve done it before it’s the fact that I miss having my weekend nights off. It’s a drain mentally . So here I begin a new job search .

I do not blame you! 100-125 hours a week is way too much; you deserve to have a life. Good luck in your job search and reclaiming your freedom.

Thank you. Personally it’s not the hours, I’ve managed before it’s just I’m 22, my week should not start on a Thursday. I have to work overnight Friday Saturday and Sunday. With no days off. I want to go to the beach or enjoy a movie something. My only nights free are Monday - Wednesday I hate it. Been applying to jobs like crazy today fingers crossed 🤞🏾

Sounds like you're making the right decision. That's way too many hours, over the weekend especially. You deserve to have a life outside of work!

Thank you! I sent an email to my job #1 and made my final formal request. If by 8/10 no answer I’ll have my answer. I don’t mind working crazy hours but only having Monday - Wednesday night to blow off steam is almost not having anything 😅 . Hoping the applications I put in today will land me some interviews I already scheduled 2 !
