Job Satisfaction

I didn’t. Jan 1, she moved to her new business unit.

My boss now has technically always been my boss since I started here. I have reported directly to him (he’s a VP) at various points in time for different reasons. I like him. For the most part, I like my team. I just find that management consulting in biotech is boring as hell to me and my company - while overall decent (used to be wayyy better) is succumbing to the standard corporate greed operating model and squeezing every last bit of juice out of employees and then some.

I don’t know why but I have so much anxiety around work every day and I just don’t want to do this ish. Adding to that, I have to accommodate mfa’s on the east coast & hit the ground running with a daily meeting that I lead at the azzzz crack of dawn

That sucks! While my job is not fulfilling, I wouldn't say it's boring. Tho I am stuck to a desk all day, and I don't love that part, there is some creativity involved. Maybe a sabbatical (if available) could reset your ability to tolerate the hamster wheel.

Perhaps a new hobby or some new life interest that gave you something to look forward to at the end of the work day could help, but it sounds like burnout to me.

Twice I have felt like you describe, with anxiety centered around work. Both times I left the industry altogether. Once was a lateral move, and once was a advancement (monetarily anyway)

Maybe change your Linked-In to Open for Work, visit with a Headhunter or two, discuss your skill set, and see what's out there. You can just dip your toes into "looking for another job" and if something comes along that compels you to leave biotech corporate hell, then great! If not, at least the hope and search can distract you from the mundane for a while.

Going to work dreading work drains my soul. I always felt better after I moved on.
