I've hit a breaking point at my job as a maintenance man for an apartment complex, and I really need to vent and seek advice. It's become incredibly frustrating, and I'm not sure how to handle this situation.
My boss seems to take advantage of the fact that I'm dedicated and refuse to do a poor job. While I take pride in my work, it's starting to feel like I'm being exploited. The worst part is, it's not just about me doing my job well; it's about others not pulling their weight.
I find myself going above and beyond, taking on tasks that aren't even in my job description, simply because I can't stand the thought of letting a work situation stump me. But it's become apparent that my dedication is being used against me, and it's affecting my mental and physical health.
I'm seriously considering quitting, but there's a catch. I've invested a lot of time in building good relationships with the residents, and I know that if I leave, they might suffer like they did before I was hired. It feels like I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Has anyone else been in a similar situation or have any advice on how to handle this? I'm torn between my own well-being and my commitment to making the residents' lives better. Your insights would be greatly appreciated
