Anybody else SO tired of working!?

[NMyshyniuk]

I've been at my job 3.5 years, I get to bring my dog to work and learn about pet nutrition which I am pretty passionate about.

When I started it was just a beginners/starting position in customer service. The year before last the team lead left to go to school and I was promoted with a fairly big raise. At the end of last year my manager quit and I was told that I would be promoted to manager. I was loving my job.

We're now half way through this year and I have yet to see that promotion or another raise. I had asked my boss several times for the promotion, a raise, a review, anything.. when I was talking to him about a review I had to do for one of the customer service reps (totally a managers job!) he mentioned to me that he had put most employees on a salary freeze (nice of him to tell me that before). They let go a higher up employees recently and a lot of his jobs are falling on me, the IT lady to tell phoned to tell me she was training me on those things and my boss still hasn't talked to me about it!! So now I'm doing the job of 2 more people who were above me, as well as my regular job, for the same pay.

The two girls under me call in sick constantly; so I end up working 10 hour days with no break. I'm seriously considering telling my doctor I can't take the stress anymore so they'll put me on sick leave until baby comes!

Yes, so done. Pregnancy just makes me want to stay home all day

Lol..., I was sick of working long before I was pregnant. But it's especially hard on days when I wake up extra exhausted or a client distracts me from feeling baby move. I've cracked down and refuse to take any time off though except for dr appointments because every hour I miss now is an hour I lose with baby later

I don't hate my job but my head is filled of things I'd rather be doing. I'm tempted to start maternity asap but I need to see how OH work is before doing that as could end up having to go back earlier than wanted if he's not earning

Bored of it!! 12ish weeks to go.

I've been working for almost 8 years at the same place but have done very different jobs and moved around quite a bit.

But...i am so so looking forward to a break! I cannot wait. To leave this working world behind and not think about it!!

 

[Zeri]

I am very, very tired of working. Very. Feel like time is moving so fast and there's always so much to do - I really need to slow down, take a break, and really enjoy this pregnancy, before it's over! Going on vacation in two weeks and can't wait! Can't wait for maternity leave, either. I would happily work only part-time if I could.

I'm a teacher and sick of work yes...I don't think it's so much actually being THAT fed up of the content of my work (although definitely with some elements), it's just with my 1 year old son and a daughter on the way now, things seem so much less important and I generally do care so much less. I would say I've took my foot off the pedal with a fair few things (doing enough to meet what I should though) and struggle to worry about the fact I've dumbed down too (I've always been one to bust a gut doing my best at everything). I'm just getting a bit....."meh". It shouldn't be the case but I've discovered nobody notices or cares if you are the grafter type or one that does the bare minimum overall. And yes I am more tired than usual but I honestly dont think it's far off the level of tireness I was "normally" / not pregnant. I am MEH at the whole work thing in general!!!!

I used to enjoy my job, though there were days that I hated it, but overall I enjoyed it. I've been there 6 years next month. I started out as a CSR and after 4 years finally got my promotion to being the Accounts Manager/Assistant Manager. Well it seems like since finding out I was pregnant and after the Sales Manager we had left in March, my boss has been putting a lot of things on me. We finally hired a new sales manager but he has only worked for us for a month on Friday (there is a lot to our jobs that it takes a bit for someone new to our type of business to get the hang of). Well like I said boss keeps putting things off on me, and while yes according to my job description it is not my job it is stated in our job description that "other tasks assigned by management" would need to be completed. I spend most of my days being a bitch, which he had told me some days to be a bit more like and then other days tells me to not be such a bitch (this not said mean or anything, it was during sit down conversations I've had with my boss in regards to me being a manager, but it's just conflicting). I get so stressed out that I get snippy, and I try to put on a smile to face my customers but yesterday I came to realize that I can't do this job anymore. I can't quit as we can't really afford to just live on OH's paychecks. But I will have to start looking for another job, especially after Pickle is born. I can't deal with the stress anymore and hate being in tears almost daily because of the job.

You should not be allowed to work ten hours with no break due to their under staffing issues. My HR department would flip a lid if I skipped a break while pregnant.

Say they either review your pay or you're going to have to make a complaint on the work load you feel pressured to do with no breaks.

I'm getting sick of work too. They're letting go of all the deputy managers in the stores and demoting them to sales and not only does it demotivate those deputy managers while they're still at work, but it demotivated the rest of the staff like me knowing the company doesn't look after their staff. So I've told myself the aim is to not go back after my maternity leave!

I agree with pp. You shouldn't be expected to work 10hrs with no break any time let alone while pregnant! You need to talk to someone about that...

But yeah, I'm SO done with work too. I have worked for the company (Costa Coffee) for nearly 7 years altogether and I transfered to a quieter, nicer, new store right around the time I found out I was pregnant which was perfect cos the one I did work in is crazy busy all the time and SO stressful. At first I loved it here, but now I'm just counting down the days til maternity leave.. I cannot WAIT. It bores me, it stresses me out, I'm too hot and uncomfortable all the time and I just feel like I have so many other more important things I could be doing instead! Only 8 more weeks to go...

If work are not doing anything to help you, then I would definitely call your doctor.

I am a teacher, so I finish 3 weeks tomorrow for the summer. I am definitely ready for it - getting around and being on my feet a lot of the day is already harder, can't imagine what it would be like if I was 35+ weeks!
