I took a pretty sudden break from my work about two weeks ago. I was experiencing major burn out and depression.
Overworked, underpaid, and burnt out.. and a coward when it comes to telling people..
I know my poor communication skills are my fault, but I felt like maybe I could come back to work if I was working only part time; I explained to my boss yesterday that I was burnt out and depressed and that I needed time to rest. And he said he's always understanding of when we need rest, I just need to be able to communicate.
I thought that was a great response!
I said I was sorry for the way that I left and asked if I could come back part time, because I'm still burnt out, and he was thrilled to have me back! (Made employee of the month before even finishing my first month, the others were pissed)
But he literally scheduled me the day after I asked to come back from my burn out depression hibernation… With a 9 hour shift … And 44 hours total for the week..
.. I literally can't.. I asked to come back part time because I'm still burnt out and depressed.. and was honest about that with my boss.. And my first week I'm scheduled 44 hours with 9 hour shifts??????
I'm so confused.. “I just need to be able to communicate” I did.. I literally just did yesterday.. their take away from me being so depressed and burnt out that I couldn't work for 2 weeks is nah you're fine come back and work over time you definitely won't burn out again .. tf
