I have just about had it with management. I have already let everyone know I am retiring in May of next year when I am finally RE, but I honestly do not know if I can last that long.
I managed to survive the ranking this year, so I am confident nothing major will happen to derail my plans, but the million minor things that are adding up might do it.
In the last few years, I have taken on more & more work as people quit or retire. Each time, management asks if I think I can take on the new duties and still get all my other work done. I tell them I’ll try, but I never really know all a new job entails until I actually do the job. They always say, “Let us know if it becomes too much. We’ll figure something else out.”
Well, after doing a new duty for a 2 months, I realized it is far more involved than originally thought. Maybe someone better than me can do the job without working an excessive amount of hours, but I can’t. I have tried, but I can’t make it work.
Instead of just bailing on the most recent new duties, I asked my manager for some help with parts of the job. Instead of being supportive in any way, my manager offered no solutions and reminded me that I agreed to the extra work.
I was so pi---d, I left for the day. Right now, I don’t care if anything gets done. All I know is I need to recharge if I am to last until May. At this rate, the odds are, I won’t last until years end.
