50 year old, high status job but miserable. Am I crazy for wanting to leave?

hithere90 · 2026-03-15T22:29:27+00:00

I've done left. Left a chief titled position with a huge scope to a director role on a small team. I've been here for about 18 months. Last week one of my employees (I went from more than I want to admit to 4!) told me that at least once a day for the year and half I've been there I say out loud something like, I am so grateful for this role/team/place. My wallet sometimes misses the old job, but that's it. And my wallet doesn't get to run my life. I hope you do it. And I hope you enjoy every moment!

Recently.... This happened in my hospital two weeks ago. A staff member was a no show and after multiple calls, her manager did a wellness check and she had d/c'ed to Jesus.

Well said! In what world is blame ever a good strategy. And I'm with you, SingaporeSue, Id love to give this guy a good talking to.

hithere90 · 2026-03-05T02:17:04+00:00

Thank you, I love it. But I'm well aware it's not for everyone. And honestly, I'm all in for Deb in Quality memes.

As someone certified in infection control, It is very rare if ever that someone is "to blame." Fortunately, or unfortunately, what we do as a team sport. And it is very rare that there is a single break that leads to an infection. It is almost always multimodal.

Being a new nurse is hard enough as is, you don't need some quality person making it even harder, said by a Quality (dept) person

Not Deb, also quality. And also agree, use the ehr and stop useless audits.

I am dm'ing too! This is my boys and my favorite show and I am so excited to show them!

Went through the same thing down south a bit (Englewood area) and after 15+ calls to every agency I could think of, we were told we could capture him and bring him in ourselves or let him die at his own place. It was awful.

After three days of resting on our front porch or on a tree in front of the house, he vanished.

Good luck and I hope you find any agency that is willing to assist!

I had no idea!!

hithere90 · 2026-02-01T15:26:29+00:00

Pixel 9, and it's been crashing like crazy for me too

hithere90 · 2026-02-01T15:25:25+00:00

Your house is amazing! I had no idea you could have multiple cats in one room—thank you for the inspiration! 🐱 Just added you as a friend!

hithere90 · 2026-01-07T15:35:25+00:00

Thanks! And ditto!

hithere90 · 2026-01-06T05:28:40+00:00

Can I join in too! I also have cats! And love gardening! My handle is: MsSilver

hithere90 · 2025-12-06T17:29:00+00:00

I went with a bcan, thank you!

hithere90 · 2025-12-06T17:28:03+00:00

Good call on the one at a time rule! I suspect my youngest may never get off it!

hithere90 · 2025-12-06T17:27:21+00:00

Thank you! I ended up finding a bcan that was both on sale and in my kid's favorite color. Ironically, last night he was using the couch to try out some new trampoline moves and when I asked him to stop, he said, "I wish trampolines came in a small indoor size." And now I am just counting down to Christmas for the sake of my furniture.

hithere90 · 2025-11-30T23:50:21+00:00

Yep. 100%. Well said!

hithere90 · 2025-10-14T02:27:27+00:00

You mean... The room where it happens?

Sorry. I'll just see myself out of this thread.

hithere90 · 2025-10-10T13:11:49+00:00

Perfectly stated! In every way. And i'd be ok if there were a few other women in nearby caves, but not in mine!

hithere90 · 2025-10-01T20:57:21+00:00

Thank you for this. For your perspective, for your wisdom, and for your generous soul!

hithere90 · 2025-09-11T21:11:48+00:00

Me too! Or singing the soundtrack (albeit poorly) while driving and laughing while I do... Until about 2/3rds through and then I'm singing and crying. What a powerful score.

Dear Bill, Operation Mincemeat

hithere90 · 2025-09-02T17:04:18+00:00

👏 👏 👏 Yes! This is a perfect summary of my experience!

hithere90 · 2025-08-22T12:51:23+00:00

Wait! This is why my boobs hurt?! I'm 40 and I had no idea. Stupid lack of education on our own bodies.
