overworked, understaffed, underappreciated. unrealistic timelines, meaningless metrics, and unorganization. bad management, out of touch PIs, protocols with increasing complexity yet terribly written. everything URGENT. phone calls/messages at odd hours. constantly on edge. from site to CRO to sponsor. it's a mess and rampant across the whole industry, no matter which role i've been in. oh, and, a 'high performer'? you'll be rewarded with burnout.

ugh. genuinely ruining my mental health. i hate that i feel so jaded now. if anyone else feels the same way about their role, good luck to us, and i hope we can find a way out to a new career path!
