[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone felt like this and actually carried through with the change?

I am mid-40s and have 15 years as a Fed.  I became a GS-15 supervisor a few years ago and struggle with the stress and anxiety (I'm in therapy/meds) of managing staff issues.  I just struggle with making decisions that aren't perfect and that will inevitably bother some staff.

I was a supervisor in my early 30s, hated it then and took a step back, but thought 10 years later I'd be more prepared for the challenge.  Now that it's my second go around, I'm just not sure it's for me, but [b]hate the thought of losing pay (I'm a high GS-15 step), plus what others in my organization will think, and lastly whether I'll be bored as an individual contributor. [/b] I have a challenging home situation with a child with mental health issues and so feel stressed at work and stressed at home.  I just don't know that I can continue to do this for the next 15 years.[/quote]

Losing pay may be a valid reason if your $ situation is tight... The second reason is not valid (who cares??). The third reason (being a contributor), I think you can find a way. [/quote]
