Being a director sucks

SUPPORT NEEDED

I recently became the director of a local health department. I wholeheartedly regret doing so. It’s putting out fires, dealing with non stop personal issues, being the focal point for everyone’s frustration (both staff and residents). There’s very little actual public health work.

I can’t stand it. I’m trying to make a path to a health informatics / systems role.

Anyone have any ideas?
