Don’t want to go back to my demanding job

I still have 10months of matleave but went to the xmas work party which was a mistake. Caz I was just reminded about work. So do not recommend. Anyways since I have been on matleave the company has downsized and people are even more over worked then they were before. When I was working I’d be putting in 12-15 hour days and also working on the weekends. Rarely did I ever feel I had a weekend. Now with a baby I can’t commit like that. I just want to clock in and clock out. I want set hours. Thinking if I should go back to school… Did anyone else have feelings like this for their stressful jobs? Did u go back?

I felt like this with my previous company so did leave and ended up joining a new company with a new role. I actually didn’t have my full MAT leave and started back work when my LG was around 6 months… Since going back, I do feel like life/employment is soooo different than before having a baby. I WAS one of those people who would work those extra hours etc but now I do literally clock in and clock out because I have a reason to stop…. For example; need to pick baby up from my parents or maybe I just want to get back so that I can actually have time with her before she goes to bed. Only just now, will I work extra but that’s only IF I want to… otherwise my job has definitely become a clock in and out as you put it.
