My personal experience-annual raise was in dimes not dollars. Health care formulary pays less each year. If I can't work due to severe weather event, or a base closing for a family day then I have to use up some vacation time if I want to get paid. I can get an advance on vacation time but leaving the company means you have to pay that advanced (negative) back. This job requires you to explain every hour you worked in the day. The stress caused health issues

Gosh, I’m really sorry you’re dealing with all this. It’s way too much. Work shouldn’t feel like a punishment. I once left a job like that and felt lighter in just a week.

Sounds familiar. Companies love to preach about their work-life balance while nickel-and-diming you on raises, benefits, and time off. Track every hour, justify every break, then get told you're lucky to have a job. It’s no wonder work stress turns into actual health problems.

It sounds like a change in jobs/careers would do some good. Do you have a desire to make a career pivot and try something different or do you prefer to stay in your current field? There are definitely options and opportunities for greater schedule flexibility, pay, and autonomy but all of that comes with some trade offs. What ever you decide to do, wish you the best of luck. I’d be happy to discuss the good and bad of being a Financial Advisor/Planner if you want, since that seems to be somewhat related to what you already do.

After spending 4 years as a mid-level ops manager, I tried to break into HR through talent acquisition. Now after 6 years in TA, I've had a hard time getting out of it. My goal was always to get into a more broad HRBP position, but I've since worked for smaller orgs without a solid HR career path. When I ask about my career goals, they keep telling me, "Soon!" Or "Maybe in 6 months!"

I'm testing SPHR in June. Any advice for securing the type of role I'm aiming for?
