Well said, HappyPhilo!
For me, it is coming down to balancing the aggravation of work and the things that I enjoy about work. If I could toss out some of the alligators, the career would be more sustainable.
Last Thursday, after finishing a kyphoplasty, I really felt that it was a blast to do, and the patient really appreciated it. If I could do these all day, I would work forever. Heck, I would do them for free.
Of course, the immediate procedure was a total clusterf, and I left saying to myself that if I ever have to do that again I would resign on the spot and that there is no amount of money that could compensate me for the misery of that experience!
Over time, at least for me, the negatives are weighing heavier than the positives, and this is making the decision to cut back and eventually leave much easier. It would be easier if Career 2.0 were a little better established.
