This is a bit of a vent but I am just so, so burned out and feel like I need to scream into the void. I took this week off because my parents are moving out of the country. I have been dealing with some difficult feelings related to the move as my parents and I are close, and now they will be an 11 hour flight away. Anyway, not the point. Work has been absolutely crazy lately. I’ve been feeling like I’m hanging on by a thread, so I took the week off to spend time with my parents before they move. And before I left, I wrote up an incredibly detailed list of notes with consolidated to-do lists and things for my manager to keep an eye on while I am out. It’s my fault for checking in but I just logged onto Slack and I can see that no one has read my notes and my manager is frantically trying to cover me for things I have already completed and/or were in progress (and stated so). I am not going to bother to quell her anxiety but I am just pissed that I took the time to leave notes in the hopes I wouldn’t come back to a shit show next week. Guess who is coming back to a shit show next week. What’s the point of PTO if I can’t trust my coworkers and manager not to lose their shit without me there?? Sorry for the rant. I am just so burned out.
