I went on 4 weeks of medical leave for surgery. I’m on week 3 rn. 3 days after my leave started, I learned it was an absolute shit show without me and work was piling up because there weren’t enough people to do the big tasks and the many tiny little things that I do. I get told on the daily by my two work besties that they can’t wait for me to come back because of how awful it has been without me. Apparently even the big boss was saying that my presence is missed and that I do so much more than he had realized. I just try to keep myself busy so boredom doesn’t kick in.
This is the problem with the idea that we should always be giving 110%. Companies should have enough people to deal with staffing issues. Wtf are they going to do when you die? Just fold the company and fire everyone?
I asked for one and was laughed at and essentially told that management doesn’t intend for me to get any kind of meaningful raises or advancement. I’m browsing for new jobs.

Right? I don’t give 110%. I just do my job. I heard that we’re looking to hire another person because management finally realized we need it
Sounds like someone is due a raise 😅

Good for you on leaving, and good luck with the search!
Thank you!
