I’m considering moving from a management role to a role as an individual contributor. I’m burned out. About six months ago my boss assigned me some groups I didn’t want to deal with. They aren’t my strengths, and I didn’t want to be responsible for their problems.
I was no longer satisfied. The boss recently started complaining that I am not doing enough. It is stealing my life at work. It’s not easy to find a job in my field, so leaving isn’t an option. When I really think about it, I want to go back to being an individual contributor and not be responsible for others. Will this destroy my career?
