I'm in a situation at work and don't really know the way forward. My job is fairly large.
When I was quite new it wasn't really clear what I was meant to be doing. At the same time I have a couple of health conditions. Without really having a full measure of things I came forward and said I was struggling and needed clarity. This sort of set up a scenario where I was seen as struggling.
I weathered it and eventually when things got easier I thought I'd focus on my own wellbeing.
I suppose I didn't realise how burned out I was and it wasn't long before I was struggling again. This triggered me trying to get more support in place and stop trying to do everything myself which is helping, however we are in a cycle where I'll have a dip every three or four months.
It's things like
1 Never really getting time to step back and assess
2 Constant pressure to meet targets and deadlines
3 An ongoing confusing cycle of shifting priorities/lack of clarity
I just want to hear from folk who've been in the cycle.
How do I solve 3 when I have NO break from 1 and 2?
If anyone can talk me through a situation of when you did it that would be helpful.
If 'better managing shifting priorities' was your goal how would you go about it? The shifting part is key. I don't have control over large decisions but my work is impacted by them and there is a lot of change and uncertainty where I work.
