These 60hr+ weeks in the summer have me burned out. Thinking of quitting without a job lined up with less than 2 months before my promo to manager is effective. Thoughts?

Tough it out for title and presumable promotion bonus. It is terrible though so I do hear ya

Tough it out through the bonus, try to take some of your PTO to make it tolerable, even if it’s just a half day on Friday. Use this time to see the light at the end of the tunnel and look for something else.

I second what @deloitte 1 said

Tough it out. Metal health can always wait til you’re manager.

Tough it out to get your bonus and promotion. Try to find a little time each day for yourself, even if it's just 10 mins.

Tell your managers what’s going on with you. Don’t say you’re thinking of quitting, just say you’re burning out and can’t keep this up much longer. They will understand. Maybe they can shuffle some things around. I feel you though. Maybe not, but it’s worth asking. I’m right there with you and 10/15 is not close.

Hang in there and tough it out. Don’t take anything to heart the next few months and focus on you!

Take time to look for jobs/interview while still employed, you'll find the process takes a while if you're looking for a good fit. Give 90% versus the 150% you're giving now until then 😉

Just start caring less. Promo in the bag? Give 80% instead of 100%. Smooth sailing should keep your mental wellbeing high

Start interviewing now. You’ll feel better about leaving if you have something else lined up.

Tough. It. Out. Or interview and get the title. But don’t quit with no job, 2 months our from promo.

Def wait till the promotion

You made it so far, you can do it! 💪🏻💪🏻

Yup just don’t care as much no one will remember

Talk to your doctor about the toll it is taking and maybe they will sign off on short term disability for it? Give you a break!

thanks for the words of encouragement!

Quitting two months before a promotion would be silly. Stick it out and then evaluate. Flexibility should get better as a manager and promotion bonuses are typically better

Im starting a new job but still employed somewhere else. I was trying to be open about staying at BOTH places. My current job won’t let me be part time because they don’t allow “set schedules”. Yet I am one of the only reliable and loyal employees in the department, and currently working a set schedule. So why will they not let me continue a set schedule but with different hours? This place is more focused on strict policies and not actually trying to work their employees and being flexible.
