I’ve been getting physical symptoms from stress due to the workload falling solely on my shoulders after my colleague left. My boss told me there would be no recruiting for a replacement
I told her I really need a 2nd person. I’m mentally and physically exhausted but even when I take PTO I’m still exhausted because the work waits for me and builds up.
I’m drowning with the inbox growing by 180 demanding emails everyday and I cannot cope alone with the volumes which previously needed 2 people to manage.
Her response?
It is manageable, you’re not struggling.
Well i guess that’s the end of that then, I’m cured! s
