Answer 1

It all depends on whether or not you can afford to leave your job at this time. If you can, great... Go for it. If not, keep working there but look for another job whenever you get a chance.

Just keep in mind that everybody feels the crunch these days, as all workplaces are cutting back and doing more with less. I have yet to see any job where they don't have one person doing the job that used to have a couple people doing the same thing. It's the new management style of today.

I don't like it any more than you do, but managers have found that in order to stay competitive (and cut costs as much as possible), this is the way to go.

Answer 2

I know the exact feeling. I used to have a job that was such a heavy workload that when I was at home after work and the phone rang, I would cringe and get stressed. I felt besieged, and started resenting work associates over even minor issues. After 4-1/2 years of that, I resigned, because the owners wouldn't give me an assistant.

My next job was more of the same. The workload was ridiculously heavy, yet they refused to pay overtime, so there was really no way to keep up on the workload. I resigned after 7 months.

My current job is sublime. I have a variety of work duties, but the best thing is, the overall workload is very light. That's why I have time even to answer questions here on this site. I'm paid a fair market rate of salary, but the workload is very reasonable. Maybe even too light sometimes.

Unfortunately, I know of no way to find out ahead of time before accepting a job what the workload will be. Obviously if you ask during an interview, they will think maybe you want to goof off and are afraid of hard work.

Answer 3

I worked a job 6 days a week...70-80 hours, always on call and was responsible for a huge budget. Yeah I made good money...but I had no life, was stressed out and unhappy.

So I quit.

Find something you like to do. You only live once...do what makes you happy not overloaded.

Answer 4

Everyone has to work, my husband collapsed at work from an overload. But he was back the next day. Change of personal sometimes helps the stress, sometimes you just have to slow down and heck with them. But let's face it there aren't too many work places that are not understaffed and overloaded to be cost efficient.. its the new survival of the fittest ;-)

Answer 5

If this job is really getting to you like this, and like someone else said, if you can afford to leave, I would quit, or find a similar job that pays around the same....

Answer 6

Look for another job that's less loaded but pays around what you're getting now or a little less and then resign

Answer 7

Try to relax and think of your future.
You work only 5 days a week,the 2 days you are free - why crib?.
