[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a job like yours, that was very good on hours/telework/leave, but I was bored silly - surrounded by poor performers and generally wasting my time. I took a new job with more management/leadership/policy experience that I was excited about and started hating it immediately. I now work about 60 hours a week and am stressed out all the time. I barely see my kids during the week - and they often tell me they miss me during the week. Everyone is stressed out because there just isn't enough down time together. I'm a year in and already planning my downshift. I don't think it's worth it. [/quote] It sounds like that particular job/workplace wasn't the right fit for you. If you liked the work, 60 hours a week wouldn't be a big deal. I think OP just needs to make sure it's the right fit for her. If you'd stayed at your old job, you'd still be bored silly and unfulfilled.[/quote]
