That sounds terrible.

Unfortunately I don't have much work experience, so I can't really give you situation-specific advice. Not having worked at your job, I also don't have a frame of reference to judge how good/bad your management is. Either way though, it sounds like you are being overworked at the expense of your personal/family life.

The problem is that nobody can really see into the future, I guess. If you leave your job, maybe there is a whole world of opportunity waiting for you that you never even thought possible. But on the other hand, maybe it will be a cop-out.

Whatever you decide to do, I think you should definitely talk to your boss about the issues you've been facing. Since they seem to value you, they might be willing to bend over to some of your demands if it means keeping you. Maybe (and I'm not sure how realistic this is) you can ask if they would be willing to give you some of your own employees to help you get stuff done.

Because you seem to have some ideas about how things should be managed, why not directly ask those in charge to put you in power over your own group of workers? This would allow you to keep working at your job, and at the same time allow you more freedom and control.

Note that these do not have to be high-level, highly educated workers; you can simply use division of labor and train some trustworthy and competent but-not-necessarily-super-educated-and-expensive people to do specific jobs, and you can basically assemble your own team.

How's about giving that a shot? It doesn't sound like you have much to lose, and since you seem pretty intelligent by your writing and the fact that you got a technical degree, I believe you would be capable and suited for doing this. (Though maybe you just do not see yourself as a "manager-type" person, which is also totally fine.)



P.S. Also, I find it funny that this is your 667th post... possibly symbolizing your escape from Hell! :cool:

Sounds like a plan. Hopefully the hospital or your managers will find a way to ease the workload or offer more compensation, upon hearing that you are willing to take action and transfer/leave if the situation will not improve in the foreseeable future. If you do decide to leave/transfer in the end, don't feel guilty about it; your well-being should come first, and I don't think anyone can reasonably hold it against one if one decides not to do something that causes a great deal of stress and misery for insufficient reward/support.

Also, you should factor in what your wife thinks about moving too. It will be a pain financially, and also quite a hassle dealing with your lease, and the furniture, and whatnot, but all those problems will be temporary, so if you and your wife believe that moving would be better in the long run you should go for it. To compare and contrast, you should also consider what things would be like in the long term if you continue working in the hospital. Will there be a more reasonable workload eventually? Will you be offered enough benefits, potential for growth, etc? Will your wife be satisfied with her opportunities and potential for personal growth if you were to stay? All these things need to be considered; I don't feel competent in giving specific advice about these things, so you will have to figure these out by talking with your managers, your wife, and possibly the relevant hospital admins, and then do what seems best.


In any case, keep on pressing on, and I wish you good luck and godspeed!
