Work increasing and then told..

I’m apparently too quiet…
I work in a team of 12 and due to two colleagues been off sick 2 of us have been tasked with a slightly different job to help cover their role. This in turn has an impact on the amount of work I can pick up in my own job and my colleague tells me ‘I’m too quiet’ when I say how I’m sick of picking tasked with this work. As it’s come from higher up, there’s not much I can do.

I feel her comments were unfair, how would you have responded to this if she says anything again?

So you don't talk much about what you are doing, and because of this other people pile other work onto you?

When this work gets given to you, do you ask what parts of your job [give them a list] they want you to drop in order to do it?
