I am in a management role in Australia, where I am about 2 years from qualifying for my 10 year long service leave entitlements.
Problem is I am really struggling with this role. Expectations are insanely high, both from clients and from upper management. I don’t currently have an assistant and haven’t had for some time (where others in my role do, in fact when someone else in my role lost their assistant they got bumped to the front of the queue before me for a replacement). Bosses say it’s because I’m capable without one.
Also clients are just straight up rude and awful, I’ve been called an effing sh… c..t, and told just this morning to “shut my trap”.
Workload is high, stress is high.
But my long service leave would be a payout of decent 5 figures and I’m 8 years down 2 go so it seems like a waste to throw it away now.
How do I find balance to get through these last 2 years? Or do I throw in the towel. It’s affecting me a lot …
