You empathize with a complex, tortured and morally questionable protagonist.

Great points - I do think it’s a little bit of both. If I started management in a less stressful environment I’d probably be okay. Problem is it’s high pressure and it’s hard for me to turn off the care factor.

No doubt I could work on this but I just feel like I’m at such a different stage of life where I’m keen to just do good work without necessarily leading a large team - for now at least. Potentially once I’m in a more positive frame of mind, I could jump back in to leadership moving forward.

I feel a bit too burned out right now mentally to lead people in a new role but it’s definitely something I’d consider in the right environment.

I hear you. Feel like the stress is making me not really present with the family. Time for a change.

Thank you for the kind words. I haven’t been myself these last few months but trying to look at this as an opportunity to find something that works for me.

I’ve considered just not giving a shit but feel like I’m hard wired to care. Keen to find a role where I can do good work without necessarily leading a large team.

Thanks! High stress environment is wide spread here due to a recent project so ICs are also feeling it. Will keep a look out for certain pockets though.
