My job is killing me.....

Typically any management job is endless hours with salary pay. Most managers are told that they will typically work 50 hours a week, when the reality is you are there 60-80 hours a week. And then you take your job home with you. Then when you figure out what that salary really comes out to, with the hours that you actually work, sometimes it can be not much more than minimum wage. I only know this, because I have been in Restaurant Management my entire adult life.

Gary, your health and happiness is very important. Remember this doesn't only affect your health and happiness, it affects Maureen's. I know how important your family is, and I remember how excited you were when you first started at this place. You are a smart guy and I am sure that you will figure this one out.

Best of luck with your decision. And feel free to vent.

Just bustin on Gary a bit.

I used to be a GM manager for a major grocery store.
I was a lot younger and was working 80+ hrs a week.
It takes a toll on you and if I was to do it over again I would have requested less hours. I may have been demoted but I would have been a lot happier.
I stuck it out for way to long thinking the money was worth it. But how much is it worth when your always working or to tired to do anything but eat and sleep.

I left that job and never missed it.
