I've always worked – since I was 12. I'm a good employee and always live up and beyond the standard of the workplace.
I got my first grown up job this February as a physio after ending school the month prior (a little late, I'm 28). But I can't deal with the private sector in my country. It's truly a money machine. I'm not even working full time yet, but it feels like I'm working in a factory trying to fix people. No breaks between patients, a self paid short break in the middle of the day and 15 patients a day.
I know I should have another job lined up before quitting, but I just can't do this. I feel mentally exhausted and not able to meet the people I'm supposed to help with empathy and compassion.
I'm searching for other jobs in public healthcare (which is good here).
Wish me luck with my resignation and search for a better job with more room for empathy and compassion!
