My job is a very busy one, like most people. But I have had many changes to my original position and expectations over the past few months, and its gotten to the point where I seriously cannot get it all done.
I''ve now spoken to my boss about a mound of paperwork that needs to be sorted through. She has given me two days to do it, which might be possible. But that means another area of my job has to be put in someone elses hands. I''m fine with that, but the people who need to "pick up my slack" get mad about it.
My boss said today that people have said they don''t want to assist bc I should be able to get everything done and must be socializing too much if I can''t get it done. What they fail to realize is that I have more duties than even my counterparts at other sites, and less assistance than those other people. I''m upset and embarrassed, and frankly kinda pissed that people think I''m just socializing, especially when others are always doing non work related things.
I was always able to get everything done until recently when some new duties were added. I feel overwhelmed and like I''m getting everything just "half done." These duties were given to me bc someone got fired, and they have yet to find a suitable replacement. My boss doesn''t want to take any of the assignments off my plate, yet won''t recognize that. I need help. And we have no HR division (cut with the budget). I''ve already come to the conclusion that I need to structure my day differently, but I still feel embarrassed that others think I must be slacking. If they only knew! I''ve never been told my performance was lagging before....how do I go in with my chin up when I feel like I''ve been beat up?
To add: I have taken more days off than usual over the past two months, with my mom being sick, grandfather dying, and my m/c. While I was out people did parts of my work, but not all, and now I''m still trying to catch up.
