I had a position as a case manager and I worked from home, my plan was to continue working from home while taking care of my baby during the day but I very quickly realized that it wasn’t going to work. My job is very mentally demanding, towards the end of my pregnancy I was told that my performance was “poor” and that I would be given a preceptor and be put on a performance plan when I came back to work. How could my performance be poor when I was making all of my calls and completing my tasks for the day?
I’m sick of being micromanaged. I’m sick of being watched and feeling like a failure everyday. I’ve never been told I’m a poor worker ever in my life. When I had my baby everything changed and he is my top priority.
I have a successful side business that has been a side hustle for the past two years that I plan on making my full time career. I think I’m still in shock that I will be my own boss, working for myself and making my own schedule. I get to call the shots now and it’s time to take back control of my happiness.
If you’re thinking of quitting, do it. Life is so freaking short on this floating rock.
