So here's the calmer more worksafe version of what happened on Thursday:
I am so burned out on my job right now.
My team is supposed to be four people. This year we’ve had two people out for extended periods of time due to ongoing health/personal issues.
I ‘ve done my best to cover what I could, keep things moving along, and although it was hard and draining I managed because it was temporary.
Except now two of these people – a chronic underperformed and someone whose personality is most tactfully described as challenging – are being moved on to other departments and me and the one remaining coworker are being expected to absorb this four person workload in perpetuity.
And the one remaining co-worker has an ongoing health issue that means they’re on reduced hours, so essentially there’s one person in the office full time covering four people, and that person is me.
I’m getting so much hassle and pushback and backbiting from other departments because I can’t do four peoples work as fast as four people would, and people are getting so offended because I can’t immediately drop the five things I’m juggling and give them my full undivided attention the moment they decide they have to get an answer for their non urgent query that could just as easily go to the group inbox so that I could manage my workload.
I called in sick on Friday because after asking four people to please put their query in an email as I was swamped and the only one in the office – which they could see, as they were literally at my desk harassing me and could see five empty desks around me – and getting interrupted four times while trying to answer one complicated query that covered seventeen different schools, I was a hundred percent done.
I spent the day in bed, just trying to catch up on the sleep I missed because I was crying and stressing out all Thursday night. I’m so exhausted and so sick of the selfishness and stupidity of these assholes.
And now it's almost 1am Monday morning and I don't feel any better and I still can't sleep.
