Hi, long term lurker, first time poster. I’ve been in HR for 7 years now. I’m currently an HRBP for a mid size org. I operate more like an HRBP and Generalist. My HR department doesn’t have the ability to make and execute any decision without approval from the CFO. It is very frustrating. I don’t love the strategic part of my role. I love ER and it’s what I excel in, but it’s by far the most draining part of HR. I feel I’m at a crossroads. I’m burnt out. The push back from senior management, the insane workload and trying to make improvements, just to be told no. The lack of consistency etc. I’m curious for those who transitioned out of HR or maybe a role that’s less stressful and draining within HR, what that looked like. I feel a little stuck. And maybe it’s just time for me to move orgs.
My degrees are in psychology and industrial organizational psych. Just looking for career advice or any advice in general! Thanks!!
