This is a very common situation & whilst ever you keep managing they will let you. Without being too inflexible you need to speak with the boss & point out that you are doing far more than you were employed to do. Ask for more pay to account for the extra workload & dont be fobbed off with ' the business cant afford it' because they are saving by not replacing staff who have left (& ask for a lot more than you expect to get) because whatever increase you ask for they will come back with a lower offer

Do you guys belong or can becom a union member?
I guess you need to also find out why she is not replacing the departed staff? Is it coming from her or is it the head office's instruction.
What your job description says? how many hours were you working before? are you being forced to work longer hours and more days?
You may have a right to refuse the extra burdens if your JD supports that or your previous working hours is nothing like what it has now become.
The other side of the coin is that lots of estate agents are closing down because of the static status of the market, so they can rightfully reduce the number of staff.
Best thing is to have a one-to one with your manager and raise your concern and tell her what you can or cannot do. If you feel this is not for you then you still have a base and pay for now start looking for something more stimulating, otherwise get an employment union or lawyer to advise you of the best course of action as I am not given full details here. good luck

Has they heard of the the Working time directive...
If you are any good, go and get another job at another agency, then they will realise they are losing a valued member of staff. One of 2 things will happen is that 1. you go an get a better job and you can use your time more effectively (i.e. make more money) or 2. they realise that they are losing a good member of staff and start working effectively.
I being an estate agent of over 7 years now, I would go for option 1, for your own sanity at the minimum and even the best estate agent has to have a break...

Do you work for Foxtons....They are the pits of estate agents. If need be, go to your doctors, get a sick certificate and hand that into her, tell her that you would be prepred to work 4-5 days a week, but cant cope with the full 6 days. Perhaps then she will pull her finger out and get and do some work herself which could free up a day or so for you. Good luck

you should talk to her, do it in a nice but firm way and say that you need help you could suggest that she takes on one more person or even do some more hours her self. No job is worth getting stressed and making yourself ill for. If this doesn't work i would get a new job

sit down and talk to her, tell her your being overworked and then maybe give her some pointers on hiring more staff to lessen your work load, good luck!

Talk to her about this, tell her it could hurt her business if not properly staffed.
