My stress load at work is off the charts thanks to several sketchy gravel haulers causing issues all at the same time. I have somehow become the “problem solver” in my work cluster so everything was dumped on my desk simultaneously. I’m being told to collect from these people without upsetting them or losing their business. They’re all sketchy. In our industry the term we use for sketchy people is: Moral hazard. One has had a couple of impaireds and has a blow box in his truck to keep him from driving drunk at work. I’d like to be able to tell them all to fxxx off and I cannot.
I haven’t used an emergency Ativan yet, but I am close, and my head is so goddamn noisy right now. I can’t go calm down on a lake in the evening because we now have fall weather.
Im sorry to hear your going through a lot rn I hope you start feeling better Ativan is known to help with stress and anxiety HOWEVER it can become a bad thing if misused not saying you will
Certain jobs can be stressful
There’s a lot of stigma based on benzos however they save lives
Idk in your position what to do but there’s a thing called a “stress leave” where you get a doctor to give you time off to unwind if you can I’d go for it
Keep strong shutterbug bug… You’ll find a way to handle them and then it won’t be Soo hard. I know it’s your job but just remember you can only do what u can do… Solve the issue in the best way you can but don’t let those sketchy dudes ruin your day man…
I hope you can get a bit of a break and your symptoms improve.
Don’t let your employer overwork you into a medical crisis or, worse yet, into an early grave. No matter how good of a performer you are at work, if you quit, retire, or drop dead, your emp!oyer will move on as if you never existed. Those are the cold hard facts.
Same. I recently retired after a 38 year career with the same company and that was my experience. I also noticed the same thing when my co-workers left over the years – Poof! Gone! – it’s as if they never existed.
When I previously work for Amazon, my coworker told me once I left because of a medical emergency and eventually quit my job which my manager was aware I had a medical emergency. Said “it was such a shame he had great numbers.”
The responsible thing to do is to tell your boss that your workload is too heavy, which prevents you, and your cluster, from working at peak performance. It’s much more likely that your boss will appreciate your honesty instead of firing you. And your credibility will actually increase.
However, if you present a problem to your boss, you should also try to present a solution. Thus don’t just tell your boss that your workload is too heavy which prevents you from working at peak performance, but suggest to your boss that some of the work needs to be delegated to other employees to maximize productivity for the cluster and the company.
