I believe in the work we do, I really do. But the pay barely covers my rent, we're always short-staffed and short-funded, and I go home wrung out every single night. I love the mission and I'm running on empty, and I keep wondering how much longer I can give from a tank that's always near empty.
More people experience this than they realize.
You believe in the mission but low pay and burnout are wearing you thin.
