Document! clockify is a good app with a free level that lets you break up and track work. Even a week or two of that broken into projecta/projectb/ admin/staff management/adhoc queries etc is enough to give you something to point to and ask how to change things. Or if you are asked to do something you can point to it and ask which thing should slide.
(I mean this is totally a do as I say not as I do situation!!)
Yeah I think that hurt some people really badly. Everything was fine for me until:
I was approved for leave
people started leaving
If I hadn’t taken leave, I wouldn’t be so far behind, but it was approved. That’s the bit that’s annoying me. Why wasn’t someone keeping track of my clients while I was away?
I’ll probably end up staying until I get probation in January as it’s proving difficult to get a role right now.
At least then I’ve got security while I look elsewhere.
That’s exactly what happened. I’m not crazy am I? I informed my clients I’d be away on leave, but I came back to about 150ish emails. That’s from 5 days leave.
Told the GM that’s leaving that I can’t keep up anymore. He said I should make a task list and present it to my manager.
Let’s see if they’ll be reasonable or not.
Wishing you the best and hoping that something can be worked out with your manager.
Thanks mate :)
I did this to myself because I work my ass off and they just kept piling it on!

Thanks for the heads up!
I’ve got an excel sheet going, and so far I’ve got about 50% of things I need to complete asap.
It’s sitting at 30 hours not including my day to day work.
And that’s only half so far lol
cant believe it all went to shit so quickly. is this due to the pay dispute?
Do you mean the 2% company wide raise?
