HI
I don;t know if anyone here can relate but I am just past 40 and after getting screwed over in my job last year after giving them everything I had for nearly a decade, I am completely and totally burnt out. I feel the way someone feels when they break up out of a relationship and the last thing they want is another relationship. Well, the last thing I want is another corporate job right now. I hate the politics, unfairness, favortism, age discrimination, control freak bosses, spies, backstabbers etc etc. Just hate it.
I am lucky to be in a position where I can use my skills to manage my stock investments for some income, do taxes for some income etc. I just don;t know how to get my fire back. I was the type of person that always did everything right...started working at age 9 *paperroutes...put myself thru college, worked my butt off despite being treated like garbage in my 20s doing 2 jobs...and recently busted my butt for nearly 10 years before a jerk boss decided to start treating everyone in our department like hell in the hopes one of us quit and when that didn;t happen, scapegoated me out despite stellar reviews.
I am just spent overall. Any advice on how to get my passion back? Fire back? I feel so incredibly exhausted and starting over at the bottom just feels too overwhelming.
Thanks for listening.
