I haven’t taken a single day off since I started this job about a year ago. I finally needed some r&r so I took a long weekend with my gf. I left work in a great spot, everything was caught up and I was good to go. I messaged my “work buddy” and my supervisor what I wanted my “buddy” to check on while I was gone.
I came back to absolutely nothing checked and loads of newly assigned projects, which shouldn’t have happened since I was out. My stress level is 3x what of when I left. The great time I had with my gf was completely wiped out when I logged on this morning.
I’ve never quit a job before but ever since I started this job my mental health has deteriorated. Everyone I know has noticed this. We’re overworked and don’t get paid for overtime. We only get paid for 8 hours but the vast majority of people here work 10-12 hour days just so they’re caught up for the next day.
I’m trying so hard to hold off quitting until I find another job but idk if I can last that long.
