Really interesting article on Gen X Work/Life Balance. And in my opinion, quite accurate. Thanks, Charles!
Incidentally, that is where I have been for so long. Rebalancing my life. Strange that working in acadaemia is the ideal place to destress for so many. I think if you get in with the right people in the right setting, it is definitely a slower pace, with excellent vacation and benefits. But. If you’re driven hard and have a poor relationship with your supervisor, it is pure and simple hell.
So I’m out! And I’ve got a new job as the online content manager for an IT and health services training company. I think it’s a much better fit, and my spirit already feels so much calmer.
I hope you are equally well.
Good luck with that new job! That gen X article really explains alot!
