Yes it can be quite nervewracking. The "outside" world will be different but having done such things myself, and for the same reasons because safety is paramount, I found it also to be a stimulating challenge. For myself I tried to get the same type of work but couldn't settle and eventually chose to do a job completely different and really enjoyed it. Wharever you do, believe in yourself and the best of luck. Cheers.

I've been wanting out of this company for years but got too comfortable. But with recent events, and the fact I've amassed a reasonable amount of savings,I see zero reason to hang around and do another harvest for them. The physical,mental,and emotional toll on myself and my family far outweighs anything working for them gives me. The hard part is,its almost like leaving your family,I've worked here since age 18 and I'm now 44,I've probably spent more time at work than with my family,so it is a hard thing to do. Still,its gotta be done. It's been made abundantly clear that I'm expendable and easily replaced and my experience and opinions based on 27 years in the industry mean nothing,so its just time

Once I was with a major client and he received a phone call from the "opposition" which one of his team has applied for a position with. "Oh no, he is my most valued person". Gave a rave review of him. When he hung up, he punched the air, "Yes! Glad to see the back of him".
It can also be pretty upsetting when you bend over backwards treating employees with everything you could hope for yourself, even doing stuff you don't need to that costs you money or lost productivity and have them sh*t on you.
