After 6 months,I’m done.

After 6 months,I’m done.

Tomorrow I'm resigning from my EHS Manager position after a little over 6 months, and honestly I just need to get this off my chest.

I was hired as a corporate EHS manager at $120k a year. The role was presented as one where I would travel to sites, support operations, build relationships, and help improve safety performance across the network.

The reality has been very different.

I am the only safety professional supporting over 20 sites. There are no site safety managers, no safety coordinators, and no other EHS staff. Almost every safety-related responsibility eventually lands on my desk.

Since starting, I've worked on OSHA recordkeeping, OSHA responses, incident investigations, PIT programs, training development, policy creation, customer reporting, corrective actions, and countless other projects. We have had OSHA visits at multiple locations, and much of the burden of responding fell on me. When I needed support gathering evidence and documentation, there was very little help available.

What has frustrated me the most is that suggestions for improving the program have largely gone nowhere. No additional resources. No additional safety staff. No meaningful reduction in scope. No real support structure.

The biggest issue isn't even the workload.

It's what the job has done to my health.

I've lost sleep. I've spent nights lying awake thinking about work. I've become anxious to the point of physically getting sick. At some point I realized that no paycheck is worth sacrificing my health.

I'm proud of the work I accomplished while I was there, but tomorrow I'm choosing myself.

Not looking for advice. Just needed to say it out loud.

Good morning, I was a safety director in the Philadelphia area and unfortunately they eliminated by position on June 10th (going 3rd party due to lack of work). I am interviewing with several GC's in the area for regional positions. Anyone ever work for WT? I have read some terrible things about work/family life balance. I am interviewing with them on Monday and wanted to see if there was any feedback from the community. Thanks!
