I spend most weekends/vacation days trying to figure out my life and find a job I’ll like better. Then after awhile I convince myself that I have a good job and I’m a fool. All is well until about 3 hours into my first day back when the bs starts in again and all hell breaks loose. 🥴 Is this common? At what point do you know it’s time to leave?

Came back from a long vacation and my manager is annoying just like the day I left. She will make me leave the firm sooner. Definition of a micro manager.

Is your boss happy with the pace you’re getting through your never-ending to-do list? If so, what’s really bugging you? Just decide how you’re going to prioritize your to-do list each day/week and feel good about getting through those to-do’s. If you’re in PA, there’s never really a time that we stop working because all of our work is done. The work will be there in the morning, so when you shut down for the day, go enjoy your real life.

I don’t think the job is the issue, I think it’s your mentality. Don’t take work so seriously. When work day is over, unwind and unplug. Remember they don’t care about you

you should find a job you like the majority of the time. If you are on vacation feeling like you hate your job, that's pretty extreme. You need to make a move.

Went from a big firm to work for a smaller firm. The people in the smaller firm are protective of their work and are good by their work too. I no longer feel chaos or stress. I am treated with respect and my schedule is more normal. I am even working more billable hours than before, but it feels like a seamless experience. I don’t work then past 5pm or anything out of the ordinary for this time of the year. I am so grateful!
