What do you do if you're totally swamped and can't cope? My job is "time sensitive" as in there are deadlines to meet, if not, there are repercussions from both people within and outside our organisation. I simply can't keep up with the volume of work and its making me ill. Ive been putting extra hours in and told manager that im so far behind. All i get is more! Plus the complaints are forwarded to me as well! I get stroppy members of the team returning work to me where ive screwed up because im so under pressure but nobody will listen.Boss either ignores it completely or says " everyone is busy" and flatly refuses to let anyone assist. I'm stressed and its making me physically ill.
