Stressful

I been with UCHealth for 4+ years now. I recently transferred in February due to being more affordable where I’m at. Little did I know that the position I took is really draining the energy out of me. Overnights, we are always short staffed, they expect us to bust our asses every night and when we fail to put away a heavy load they bring us in for a meeting questioning why we didn’t get done. It’s frustrating, even the supervisor is always preaching he will help but never does, when he does after putting one department away he is “tired” employees are always calling in on top of all that, leaving us to struggle even more. I am currently seeking another position outside of uchealth. The pay is good but it isn’t worth my sanity, I had to start taking counseling because of the amount of stress I’ve been undergoing, I lack sleep most the time now, I’m depressed because lack of sleep and being burnt out. It’s caused me to have ideations I shouldn’t be having. I hope to get out soon, I have some interviews lined up but these are marketing jobs that are definitely not worth it. All I know is warehouse work, it’s time to start new, even if I take a paycut. The stress isn’t worth it anymore.

Hi Luis Valadez II , I'm sorry to hear you've been navigating though such challenging experience. I definitely understand your concern over loosing you job if you take on less work but I would suggest lightening the load over how much you take on in and out of work. Let the Manager take on that burden. After all, that's what he get's paid for.

Don't underestimate the value you add to that workplace. Check out Edward Alexander post YOU DESERVE THE BEST! Take one please... and give yourself a break this 4th of July. Hope this message finds you well ;-)
