Vent: Absurd workload, lazy partner, stolen overtime, I'm done.

[Racingpostie]

OP.... Stop and think about all that you've said, your partner sounds a Cu*t and management won't help you which is no surprise but why go above and beyond when surrounded by mediocrity?

You don't get a bonus or any better thought of for doing more than a fair share, sometimes the bigger picture really is to let it fail miserably then let the management "earn" their money by chucking bodies/hours at the job or if they deem the pairing not working let them move you, you can't be any worse off by the sounds of it.

ROYAL MAIL think less than 1% about you than you are worrying about this job unfortunately, the sooner you can get on side with that and not put pressure on yourself to complete/run around hopefully you'll start to worry less and just treat it as a job.

I know the feeling OP, and the "work your time take your breaks and go home" replies aren't really helpful if, as I am, you're just autistic enough to want to finish the work you do- especially when you take a manageable-in-the-time workload out and yet still can't finish it due to someone else

start applying for new jobs u sound depressed

No, no, no. Didn't you get the WTLL about mental health awareness? You've got to speak up. If you keep it bottled up the company won't be able to get you the electroconvulsive therapy you need to get DM26 working.

This is the best advice you will get on here, had to laugh at the username though.

Agreed

Of course we are as in most jobs and most employers...we are a means to an end.
RM do not give a sh*t about me and i do not give a sh*t about RM.
Do my job-finish-leave - simple as that.

Just tell him the same applies to him

So theres way to fix what youre going through and I do have sympathy for that but youre 100% going about EVERYTHING the wrong way. By working harder, faster all youre doing is covering up the problems and therefore they will remain problems because YOU are solving them even though you dont enjoy doing so.

First - you have to get the rep over and show him what youre dealing with when you first come in. I get it the rep is lazy - you need to insist he comes and sees whats not been done for you to be ready on time. You also should keep a written log of what this.

Second, you get your manager to do the same as above, recognition of the increased workload youre facing is essential for anything to ever be done.

Where your partner goes or does is kinda irrelevant, however log when you were ready to go and what time he was finally ready to go and the fact you were waiting for them.

Do not load your partners stuff onto van, its his job

Make a note of times where youve had to deliver his tracked for him and time wasted.

When you return to office with undelivered tracked etc you now have evidence of what the actual problems are.

At least this way you wont be a doormat, it might not solve all your problems, good luck.
