I am in the hospitality industry and I love the concept but every day I go to work, I feel miserable. I feel like I am just surviving and I struggle to thrive. Been in the industry for 7 years, in my current job for 3.5 years. And everyday is a struggle. I feel miserable. Job security, good pay, great team, great company. But my mental and physical health is in shambles. I don’t know what to do. These are the things I struggle with.<br>1. Work life balance. Working sometimes over 60 hours a week. Could do with better time management but I don’t know where to start and I don’t know where to start to manage and I feel like I don’t have time to manage things better. <br>2. Undermining. I feel like I have no authority whatsoever. People question my decisions, undermine me and make me feel useless. I live in Asia and there is a lot of ageism here and I think that might be a problem even though I have a lot of experience. <br>3. No confidence. I don’t feel like I can do the job. I don’t know where to start with a lot of things and I feel useless. <br>4. Getting old. I know it’s gonna be harder to get a job as I get older. I might have to start from scratch in a new field. And I don’t know where to start or if I have the confidence to start again.
