I used to absolutely love my mortgage banking job. There have always been red flags but I turned them pink.
I started having panic attacks from the sheer amount of clerical duties on top of my rigorous sales responsibilities. I continually met the ever shifting requirements to get support staff. I would lose them due to my companies inability to pay a decent wage and then have to fight corporate to get a replacement.
This has been an ongoing issue even until present day.
I had a baby during the pandemic and only took two weeks of maternity leave. Upon my return I was given a production bonus which was nothing more than a cleverly disguised aggressive noncompete. My company literally sues anyone that breaches their contract. I don’t have the ability to quit without paying $15,000 and a nasty civil case.
I’m currently on short term medical leave and am absolutely dreading the thought of going back. I have recieved countless offers at other firms (200k sign on, double the commission splits) but I honestly don’t even have the desire to work at all.
Before my leave I was working 70+ hour workweeks.
Help. I just want to feel human again.
