I’ve been in my current role six months. I had a bit of a breakdown in the early hours of this morning and today I managed to explain to my manager I want to do this job, but not like this. It’s relentless and I just want to get off the bus.
They’ve warned me they probs can’t change the pace and volume of the work but asked me to do a wish list of anything the business could potentially do to make it feasible for me which we can discuss. No promises but willing to make reasonable adjustments for me within what we can control as a team.
I am reluctant to drop a day as it’s a struggle to do everything even in full time hours and I would end up being paid for four days and doing a full time job anyway. But I need better boundaries, to take back some control and to carve out what I need so I don’t end up at the doctors on bloody sertraline again which I hated.
What would you all be asking for?
