A year ago I got a job as a customer representative for a bank while I was a student. The job was paying good money for my age and was the opportunity to gain experience.
A few months into the job I started getting chest pain while working from I imagine all the stress related to customers losing their money and cursing you whatever names came through their minds or the intense micromanagement where every single thing you did or said was criticised by higher ups.
I said enough and told my manager I quit (have one month notice). My last day is tomorrow.
I used to be very excited about this decision but now I feel somewhat regretful. I spent so much of my time working or thinking about work that I feel as if I’m losing part of my value as an individual by not working anymore. I graduated so I don’t have school until my masters in September so I’ll have a lot of free time.
I feel pretty useless now and sad about the fact I invested so much of myself in this job.
It ruined my health, skin and mental health. I think that I couldn’t continue any longer. It was just too much.
Just wanted to rant thanks for listening!
