How Do I Go Back to My Old Job?
Improve Your HR
I am considering stepping back from a managerial role to an individual contributor role. I am burned out, frankly, and about six months ago, my boss gave me responsibility for some groups that I hated dealing with — they are not my strength, and I did not want to have to take on their problems.
This took me from being content to being highly dissatisfied. Recently the boss has started complaining about me not doing enough in these areas, and it is frankly sucking the life out of me at work. The job market in my field is not doing great, so just leaving is not a real option, even though I’d like to. When I think hard, I just want to return to an individual contributor role and stop being responsible for other people. Will I destroy my career if I do this?
