…and I feel a bit guilty dropping them in it given we are already in a staffing shortfall.
And there is one of the best reasons to leave.
Any employer who operates like that is shit, happily burning out people for the sake of profit. If you drop dead, they may send flowers to the service, but the next day you’re forgotten.
Have faith in yourself, if you’re good enough to do a job at that level, you’re good enough to strike out on your own, whatever path you take, and don’t give a second thought to the old job. It’s now the problem of your old employers.
Whatever you do, resist the temptation to kick a few heads on your way out – remember it’s no longer your problem.
What you’re doing is what I did many years ago, and I’ve never regretted it.
But start thinking about and acting on the next step immediately. It doesn’t stop you having a holiday, but make it productive time.
Good luck.
