Work is killing me and I'm ready to just give my resignation and then look for work, though I am actively looking now and have applied for a new job.
I'm a civil servant in an admin role and our team has gone from 8 to 4 people in the last month, one of the 4 is part time, one is still training and one is my line manager. Oh and we're also spread accross 2 sites. Upper management just can't seem to grasp the sheer amount of work that is now on the plates of the remaining people and instead of helping they just keep sending email asking why things aren't done, or asking if X can be done too. They're awful. I sent an email to two managers on Friday having a bit of a rant, today they've asked if I could do yet another task. I dispair!!
I'm off until next week now on planned AL but I've just come home and cried, I'd be happy to never go back in. I love my team, my LM is great and under the same pressures, he's also ready to quit so I'd feel guilty leaving them, but at some point I have to consider my own MH. I'm not a dramatic person but I've never felt like this in a job before
So to my question, do I quit now with no job lined up or stick it until I find something. I've got probably 3 months I could do with no income at a push. Will it look bad on my CV and hurt my future prospects?
