Still Buried in Work! If you Busy Bee!
Still Buried in Work! If you Busy Bee!
You are buried in work; You have more on Your plate than You can possibly
handle. There are new tasks com’ing in before you’ve finished the old ones.
You are stressed out, physically drained and there is no relief in sight. Now
what?
First things first, are there others in Your organization do’ing the exact same
job? If so, and they are manag’ing the same amount of work without
stress’ing out, the problem may be that You are in the wrong job. But if You are the only one do’ing this job, or alternately, if everyone do’ing this job is
hav’ing the same problems, You have several strategies available.
Do NOT allow yourself to be abused. Take Your lunch, take Your breaks, and
indeed take all of them! A stressed out employee does a poor job, so
work’ing through Your personal time is a recipe for poor performance and
things will get even worse from here.
Ask for help! Let Your supervisor know that You are over-burdened and
gett’ing further behind. Show Your boss what You are do’ing through Your time
and if You can prove that You are work’ing hard and still fall’ing farther and
farther behind, it will then become her responsibility to find a solution. So
many humans are fearful of ask’ing for help, fearful that their boss will believe
that they are lazy or incompetent. But if You are go’ing quietly insane try’ing
to do the unreasonable, it’s much better for everyone in the organization to
be honest about Your situation. Most employers will appreciate the
honesty.
If possible, have a solution in mind. Are there tasks that You should not be
doing? Are You behind because you’ve been forced to cover for someone
else? Be ready to make suggestions. They may not be accepted, but it
certainly won’t hurt to try. Your supervisor will appreciate the fact that
you’ve taken the time to fully explore the situation and Your options to fix it.
GOOD LUCK!
