I really wish the management would stop getting rid of people and expecting the rest of us to pick up their work. This is not a sustainable solution and will only lead to a complete burnout of those of us who are still here. I'm already close to being ready to throw in the towel.

Have you tried just not doing more than the amount a single person can do in the time you are compensated for? This is something performance-based people cannot do well. Your mind will already be protesting at the suggestion. It has been programmed by corporate America to believe this is not an option. It is very difficult. As an experiment, I did force myself to do this exact thing for the last 3 months. Deadlines were missed, uncomfortable conversations with my manager happened, but in the end, I did what I was compensated for not what choices were made by those without thought on what would happen. Did my manager look like cr-p, yes sir. Did I care? No. I took a chance. Performance review came and went, the prior months I worked overtime, the months I did way more than humanly possible, none of that matter. So why give more than you will be valued in the end? Work fair, fair to yourself, no one else will do that for you.
@1pyh+1raRmWH1 NEVER sacrifice your time with loved ones for this company. Your time is worth more than serving these snakes who sign on at 8 and sign off at 12. These mo--ns couldn't refresh their chrome tab without a developer to guide them through the process.
I find myself already present in the situation. The toll on my mental well-being has been significant, leading me to contemplate matters that should not burden anyone else. Despite pouring my heart and soul into this establishment, I am left questioning the purpose. The disappointing response of "Oh, we didn't meet organizational goals" coupled with minimal recognition and merit has left me disillusioned. My tenure of over a decade has brought me to the lowest point mentally in my career. Sacrificing precious moments with loved ones to work overtime, wrap up projects, and drive revenue growth has left me pondering the value of my efforts. The loss of some loved ones has added to the weight of reflection on the countless late-night hours dedicated to work. It is a stark reminder to prioritize spending quality time with family and placing them at the forefront of my priorities. We are a large healthcare organization, you’d think the company would invest more in mental health, employee engagement (not virtual happy hours) and recognize the hard work that some of us put into our jobs every single day.
Just don’t do it all.
I hear you and you know your value. Start asking yourself if what you are doing is meaningful, is your work being valued….then maybe a pros/cons list of what this job role affords you to do outside of work or is more disruptive and causing anxiety/depression. I hope this helps find clarity.
