Currently work in an exceptionally high pressure field as a manager and frontline customer service personal. Very time sensitive and strict line of work with many different and demanding "bosses"(customers, insurance partners, actual bosses) to appease.
My workplace is a 70km round trip commute(which I loathe). I am essential personal and expected to man my post regardless of weather conditions or conflicts/complications in my personal life. In 10 years I have missed less than 10 days of work.
Monday to Friday I leave my house at 6:30AM and do not return until 6:30PM or later. Frequently I am working beyond that, 12-14hrs a day if the work volume so demands. I often remote connect to my work conputer from home on the weekends and evenings. The workload is overwhealming as I am the only person in my workplace who handles the type of work I do. Every customer, and every phonecall is more piled on to an already overflowing plate.
Generally speaking, I have a strong distain for my workplace, customers and employer. I feel totally burned out and complacent.
That being said, I have a salary of $65k+ with benefits, which from my limited perspective is pretty good.
I have an offer to move to a large multinational insurance company. The office is a 4km commute from my home, the hours are 8-4 and the workload would be a fraction of whats currently demanded of me. The only hang up Im having is the $20k+ pay decrease I would face.
Base salary for the position would be $42.5k with an increase to $45k(plus pension and benefits) after 6 months.
I know for my mental health the change would be a good thing, but I am so hung up about the salary disparity.
I truely feel like a wage slave.
Could anyone ring in with an outside perspective to aid in clearing my mind?
Thanks PF community.
