You can see my problem. Now that I know it's all a charade, I can't put my energy into the job. But I'm too afraid to leave it. It's completely unfair and unethical of me.
My problem is this. I've got a tremendous amount of backlog. I've been telling myself as long as I can remember, that once I clean up my backlog, I'll quit. I've done such a good job (until recently) covering up how much of it there really is, that I'd just be devastated if anyone knew how far behind I was.
And if I were to quit tomorrow, everyone would know. That kills me.
But since reading 'Love Your Work or Don't work at All,' my ability to focus on this 'work I don't love' has gotten worse, and the backlog has increased. So I guess I'm preventing myself from leaving, by making sure that conditions are never right for it.
I don't know what to do.
I feel like I'm self-destructing here, and I don't know the password to stop the sequence. |
Feel the fear and do it anyway.
Leave your job.You will not regret it.
