I have an addictive personality. When I start out doing something, I go at it full speed and try to give my all. Employers didn't take advantage of me being codependant or being an over doer... I allowed them to do so. I gave up my self for the job many times.
What I started to learn... they don't all care (even the ones you may think did)
A day always came that when I would say...I need and then follow up with...remember when I did this for you?
I would always get... That was "your" choice. The answer is still no.
Not every employer is like that but I have yet to find one that cared more about me and my needs then they do about how much money they can make. (except for my wife and family)
