My therapist thinks I'd make a "good boss," but I don't care. I DON'T want to travel. It's always international travel here. I absolutely WILL quit my job if I have to become a manager who travels. I became an irritable, paranoid, hypomanic person last time I went overseas. And the same thing happened the time before that. I do NOT want that sh_t happening again. I'd rather have NO job than be tormented every single day.
I don't know what the f*** is wrong with people in thinking that travel is "always good." No, it is NOT good for everyone. Not everyone wants to travel. Not everyone is stress free. Not everyone wants to cope with all the bullsh_t that travel comes with. Why don't people get that??? I am not some kind of superhuman.
Sorry for the rant, but I really hate where my job is going

I am sorry you are dealing with this stressful situation. If you really don't feel it's for you, maybe explain why you don't think it would be your strength, but how you would be happy to help in other areas where you'd excel? I honestly felt pushed into management once and was not a fan as it's just not my personality, but feel I am good at other things. I would straight up turn down a management job because it would just cause me stress. While management is great experience, it's just not for everyone. Hopefully they'd understand.
