Greg1994's journey

I just quit my job at a high-end medical practice on Madison Ave, NYC, where I worked in administration at the front desk. It was the most micromanaged environment I've ever experienced. My manager constantly messaged me for updates, and I felt like I had to walk on eggshells all day. Even small things like leaving my desk drawer slightly open or checking my phone too often were scrutinized. I was dealing with wealthy patients, but the stress and pressure were unbearable. I've decided to take a pay cut of $10/hr to move to a new job closer to home in Queens, NY. The commute will only take me 15 minutes, allowing me to spend more time with my wife and daughter. I realized that my mental and physical health, as well as my family, are far more important than any paycheck. I hope I never have to endure that level of micromanagement again. I'm relieved to be moving on!
