Full management responsiblities to none?

[Swifty55]

Has anyone ever changed jobs/roles from a management perspective with a massive responsibility to a job/role with almost none (just come in, do your job and go home)?

I work in a retail environment. Worked my way from a stocky to now currently Assistant Manager. The responsibility I can handle in work, but it's now starting to affect my personal life in the sense I will finish my shift and then get phone calls and have to sort out problems, and then sods law and I finally get a weekend off and now ***** hit the fan within the store and with staff... So now I'm in for a rollocking when I go back.

Store manager is away currently.

Also affecting my time with my daughter as she doesn't live with me.

Now, just spoken to my mate who's been trying to get me in at his work place. Just a simple fork lifting job with set shifts (days/afters and nights) Mon - Fri with Sat/Sun optional overtime.

Passed him up a few times on the offer as I wanted to progress myself, but now the job is stressing me out at home and I hardly get any weekends off (Retail ftw) I'm really considering it, to the point I've asked him to sort me out an interview.

The pay is just a little less, currently on £35000pa and the other job is around £28-32000pa

Do you guys think a change of scenery will benefit me?

Cheers for letting me rant!

The health and safety involved with forklifts can make it a little less than a simple job - one of the reasons they are relatively well paid - companies that adhere strictly to the HSE requirements will have you doing quite a bit of training and even a simple incident can be taken quite seriously.

Yeah. My wording wasn't exactly the best. Want I meant was it was just a simple position using a forklift, the job itself is no easy task. I agree.

I think I'm just generally fed up of working in retail and fancy a change.
