Not with a person, but with work. Was my dream job until I realized my dreams have changed, but it pays the bills. Don't know what else will make me a living wage right off the bat either.
I'm in a work relationship that I'm considering leaving. Working in education has become much more difficult. On top of that, new bosses came in a couple of years ago and they're incredibly micromanaging. I'm on a health break right now and may not go back once I'm better and ok switching insurance.
The part about insurance hits close to home. Every time I think about transitioning over to self-employment, I shrink back into my shell when I realize how much of a headache insurance will become, huge cost whether or not I turn a profit.
I've become fed up with a job I've had for a long time. I'm confused about what I even want to do because the changes and decisions that management keeps making has me burnt out at even the concept of my job.
I've known for well over a year that it is time to make a change, but that has gotten much more urgent recently. The problem is that it's really haste to leave a well paying job for another I doubt will pay as well.
I know how that feels. Hate my job but they love me and I've been promoted way above my credentials so can't find anything that pays nearly as well.
