I might just quit-work vent

menacohen

I have to vent somewhere or I might just quit. I oversee several departments where I work and while I love what I do the stress is driving me nuts. Not to mention I've had horrible morning sickness that last all day which makes working a normal shift almost impossible. The kicker is we had a brake down last night and it seems all our clients have been very understanding except for one. This person has been calling me since 6am screaming even though I called him yesterday to explain the situation. He wants calls every 15 minutes to keep him updated and while I understand the customer is important but he's going over board. Why not wait till I actually have a useful information rather than me calling every 15 minutes to tell you things are still broken. I'm reaching a breaking point not just because of this incident but it seems every day/week something is happening and I have to resolve it. While I enjoy working and definitely need insurance coverage I'm positive all this stress isn't good for my baby.

I can absolutely relate to this! I'm a clinical therapist at a residential treatment center and deal with angry adolescents all day long, frequently working 6065 hour weeks. The workload is heavy and the expectations are unrealistic. I think about quitting at least three times a day because of the mass amount of stress I feel and that seeps into my home life. I also love my job, but it continues to get harder to keep my head above water and my baby is my priority. It just plain sucks sometimes. I have never ever wanted to be a stay at home mom, but it is looking really good right now. You're not alone.
