Hi everyone! I posted several months ago under a different username, feeling completely exhausted and burnt out. I was in a job that I loved and desperately trying to hang on, despite a monstrous workload that kept growing. I was working evenings, weekends, 12hrs+ every day. I had tried everything I could think of to get my managers to listen to me. Nothing was working and I was ready to cry. I was being criticised for not managing to do an impossible amount of work. It added insult to injury that there were multiple coasters in our team, and I was being made to pick up their work too.
I saw someone use "plumbing" as their fake job last week so I'll use that too 
I had too many houses to plumb, several toilets had exploded, and I was knee deep in shit. So I came begging to AIBU for a reality check (wiped my feet first, obviously). I was told in no uncertain terms to quit, that this was unsustainable, not to keep waiting for a change that clearly wasn't coming.
And I did! I got another job, and I marched out the door. My former managers were furious with me. All the exploding toilets are their problem now, and they lost their daft sap who was doing three people's jobs and keeping it all from being their problem. I'm in a new job which is busy but balanced, I love the work and people, and I have a life again. And that is the end of my short but happy story. Thank you all because without a good shake to counteract all the gaslighting, I'd probably still be there (or in hospital by now because it was making me ill). Thank you AIBU, you changed a life and you deserve to know - I hope some of the people who helped me happen to see this
