I’ve name changed for this one.
I am very stressed at work. I don’t stop. Never have time for breaks or lunch. Work well over my hours daily to get my tasks completed.
Anyway, I had a meeting with my manager this morning. One of my colleagues is going through a rough patch and she really is. Her mum has been diagnosed with breast cancer and will now start treatment. They have no idea how bad it is yet.
To support my colleague, my manager has reduced her work load, but given it to me.
I feel completely pissed off about it.
On the one hand, I really feel badly for this lady. On the other hand, the additional work will affect my time with my family and adds to my stress.
My chest feels like it’s being crushed and I feel sick with the stress and additional work.
There is no one else to share the additional workload. Just me and this lady. There is no ‘timeline’ for how long this will be expected of me.
Am I being spiteful even resenting this?
I feel terrible.
