Just got out of the army 4 months ago and started a job at a youth detention center. The job itself is rewarding and great but the hours are terrible (I work 3pm to 11pm) which conflicts with my family time which I cherish very much. I’ve told my supervisor that this shift just isn’t working out and he just chocks it up to seniority being the reason I can’t change my hours. I feel guilty for wanting to leave and I know they need help but it’s really taken a toll on my mental health. Advice?

Your family is what matters most. No job is worth your mental health struggling. I was a deputy sheriff and left when they were low on manning as well. And guess what? Within a few weeks they had already hired a couple people. Even if they didn’t, that wasn’t my problem to solve. That job will be just fine without you. The comment they made to you about “seniority being the reason why” is them looking out for them…how bout you look out for you and yours!

I’m interested in being a Police Officer, I just have one thing blocking my opportunity and that’s Mary Jane.
It’s so hard quitting but also this is one thing I worry about the most… is mental health, because it truly does matter.

I am a former juvenile probation officer (4 years) and juvenile probation supervisor (5 years), who refused to work in the detention center due to not wanting to being enclosed in such close quarters without a choice. I used to assist "here and there" with providing coverage; however, it bothered me to be enclosed for the few hours that I provided coverage. Perhaps being a probation officer may be a better option, inclusive of times in between to take mental health breaks throughout the day, even if in short spurts, more pay, and actually making contact with your clients and their families, their schools, as well as community partners. Just my little two cents! Good Luck!

Try and apply to other jobs that have appropriate wotk hours that doesn't interfere. Family time is very important and you definitely don't want to miss out on the memories of it. You can never get that time back I worked 2pm until 10pm before I hated it. It's like your entire day is at work

What about legal work is currently causing your mental health struggles?

Mine’s the hours, which is not normally my issue. I billed 230 for June and July and am already at 145 for August. My ability to focus is getting worse by the day, so I’m working longer to bill the same hours and have had to pull a couple all nighters. I burst into tears this morning when a client changed plans and now wants a major project by end of month, on top of my other deadlines next week... I just want to sleep.
