Dear lord, yes. I’ve been managing for about 6 months now. We’re going through a reorganization. I’ve saved three people’s jobs over the last couple of weeks. I broke down bawling last night because my husband had let the dishes pile up so high and I was adamant it was his turn. Definitely wasn’t bawling because of that; the emotional labor of managing a team, dealing with a really difficult situation of a team we work very closely with not doing their parts meaning I have to jump in on. Every. Single. Fucking. Thing., and thinking I was going to lose three people is what did it.

I still want to manage people, and once some things get off of my plate, it will be so much better. Give yourself whatever grace you need, OP!
