Doing 4 Jobs For The Pay Of One

I'm working a tough job right now that isn't really a great fit but bills are bills. Regardless, I've been doing my best and actually decent enough to teach others how to do it too. After seeing that, my supervisor and management keep wanting me to do more and more. I've even told them I'm willing to go back down to just what I was originally hired to do because I'm stressed out.

I'm working a tough job right now that isn't really a great fit but bills are bills. Regardless, I've been doing my best and actually decent enough to teach others how to do it too.

After seeing that, my supervisor and management keep wanting me to do more and more. I've even told them I'm willing to go back down to just what I was originally hired to do because I'm stressed out.

I'm not actually being paid to train people or run the team I'm basically leading now. I'm resolving issues and coaching people and doing things well beyond my job description. But I'm being paid the same as all the new hires and the people I'm being tasked with watching over.

My health is starting to become a major issue. And I don't think they care at all. They smile and joke with me. But I'm doing four jobs and being taught how to do a fifth.

I'm really over it. They're promising to pay me more eventually. But even if they ever did, this seems like a pattern that's going to continue. Up until now I've told myself it might be worth it to continue to avoid drama and to increase my pay eventually to help with medical bills. But I'm really tired of feeling horrible and being treated like the gopher who is there to do their jobs and make their lives easier.
