So yeah title says it all, currently around 8 months into a new hospital position and I’ve been extending my feelers out and doing job apps and got back invites to the start of preliminary interviews for some other jobs (mainly cuss there is likely going to be no significant pay raises for all us new hires until 2 years out so fuck that).
Bring this up to parents though and they have the weirdest attitude as though I’m betraying my company as well as shooting myself in the foot even though if I got some of these positions I’m interviewing for I’d see a huge pay bump and really good benefits (one of them is a state gig and has a damned good pension plan with only 5 years to be vested fully).
The slightly younger Xer junior boomers also have no idea how much “open offices” fucking suck for anyone who isn’t a dudebro social parasite that needs to make noise and harass coworkers and subordinates all day.
Every day the noise and lights and constant interruptions/task changing are driving me insane and I’m so fucking drained I can’t jump through all the hoops to look for a new job
I’ll probably just have a massive nervous breakdown and send a resignation after I leave and can’t stop crying for hours
I know this feeling, and I really hope it doesn’t come to that. I hope you get free and find something that makes you feel fulfilled and cared for.
Mood. It doesn’t matter if I sleep 2 or 12 hours, I’m just mentally exhausted by the time I get home.
