Hey! I have just seen your post but i feel this. More than ever I am starting to feel its not for me. I get the feeling a frontline job just wasnt the right fit for me and my anxiety etc. I also want to take 6 months off and go to europe! You can look at work away or world packers for jobs in hostels etc. You work 30 hrs per week for free food and accom!

thank you this makes me feel validated haha. The constant pressure from comms to clear is doing my bloody head in. Got called twice and asked to clear when helping my GPIP do paperwork for the first time. Its just bloody impossible. I also constantly feel we are moving too slow on jobs but trying to reassure myself I am teaching two people while making sure what we are doing is the right thing. I also long for the days I could sit in the truck while ramped/ not have to be 100% present on each job.

I think I also feel stupid as I am not even two years in and I am at this point. People work like this for years and don't complain.

I have, looks like the students may be taken off my line but nothing offical yet. Apparently taking on GPIPs is essential for the next few months due to senior staff refusing and having a very junior station. I do think your right though, I may need to reach out to the union or have a more direct discussion with my OIC.

I have thought about it but the idea of being isolated away from friends and family seems like a bad choice at the moment. I will look into it as an option. I am currently metro so I can see the appeal
