What tips do you have to get through increasing numbers of shitty days

[hattie43]

I've had an awful day and feel more and more put upon and any tasks that don't have a natural home seem to end up with me . My job gets bigger and bigger without any discussion or agreement.
I know I'm not the only one who will have this in the workplace but I'm not handling it well . I don't make a scene or strop but it's starting to grate and I'm wondering how to ignore it and suck it up .
So as not to drip feed the job has good flexible working on offer and I like my colleagues, we get on really well , but each person has their own job role and no-one else knows or does each others job so we don't help each other out . If I go on holiday nothing gets done until I get back .

Any tips to get through bad days welcome .

Financially I could leave but I don't feel ready to retire yet so don't want to snap and just resign before I've seen how I can handle things better .

Who’s giving you the additional tasks? If it’s your manager I would respond with “Ok. I’m already working at full capacity so what would you like me to drop/deprioritise from my current workload to get this done?”

Talk to your manager at your next 1-1, plan tje conversation so as tocde-emotionalise, follow up with an email?

What bothers you or makes it a bad day? Are things left over or not done as well as you would like? Are you getting it in the neck so to speak because things are not done? Have you said if you are asking me to do y on top of x it will take longer? Are the tasks coming from one person or different people who don’t know what else you do? Have you raised your concerns with your manager?

Thanks all . I think it's being given tasks way above my pay grade which I do but it's now expected with no thanks . That coupled with any old crap that no-one else knows what to do with comes my way and I have to go searching around the company to find help and muddle through .
I just find myself getting more and more irritated by it .
