When To Let Go

Sometimes there is a time in our life when we must leave a job. Sometimes we move on for a better career, other times it is to relocate and begin fresh. Some of us leave because we need to be challenged more. Upon doing this blog, it has forced me to reexamine my life, and begin to ask myself, am I happy with my job. Does my job pay me enough for all the stuff I have to do and put up with? It goes back to my blog about personality in the workplace, and how self realization is the most powerful tool a manager has. It is overwhelming to think I was so ignorant. Having worked at my shop for four years, and it being my first job. I was under the belief that that is what a job is really like, stressful and sometimes overwhelming, and I cannot tell you how many times I have come home crying. Now that I am a manager, I am constantly stressed and under pressure. And quite frankly I am not the same I use to be. My boss has put a lot of stress in my life, and sadly it has had a chain reaction. I have lost friend because I work too much, and I am always on call. Seeing this now I am left with a big decision. I can either leave, or I can tell my boss what I need from him and if I don’t come to a compromise I like, then I will be forced to leave,
