There, I think I put it just as plainly as I possibly could. Today has to have been one of the worst days I have had in my current office. About half the phone teams were away from work today, either with days off or sick leave or maternal or paternal leave, and we got absolutely hammered with calls.
There is a point up to which you can be behind the eight ball and try to catch up, but we fell through that point and kept on screaming downwards at about 1pm. You feel somewhat taken advantage of, by not having any sick leave, taken for granted that you will continue to do your best - and then you get hammered from the angle of people looking at your personal stats.
Personal stats is a thing that works best when you don't think about them - if you are struggling through a marsh like environment and feel like you are drowning in quicksand, of course you are going to be less motivated to keep climbing on up that damned hamburger hill. That is what I was thinking today, feel like those of us who are really conscientious and such at the place it feels like we are putting ourselves into meat grinders - surely the levels of stress I and others are feeling at the place isn't healthy?
Really have thought about quitting the last week or so at work, which is so unlike me - I have the job of paying off my debts, and want to keep options open when I do so, but another six months of this I'm not sure whether I can handle.
Hopefully tomorrow will be better - ever the sucker, I will head in LOL.
