I've reached the point that I can't do a full 8 hour shift just on phones. The anxiety and stress are killing me.
Been applying for work where phones are just a small part of the day and part time work. Partner starts his job soon so it won't be so bad. But I do feel like a failure and worthless. Irrational, but all my shame comes from not being what I think I should be.
There is nothing wrong with knowing what you want and what you can't handle. If something doesn't work for you try something else.
I completely understand. A job where you spend all day on the phone sounds awful
Been doing it for over 10 years. I'm so burnt out.
