I love the nature of the job, but i need a job that loves me too.

i have some anger to vent.

My company several divisions, and in my division, we have six or seven groups. Let's say i am from Group A. I have been fortunate in the course of my working time to be able to have working experiences with colleagues from other groups as well. and at this point of time, i am extremely eager to share these experiences.

This is a period of tough time for me, and in my opinion. As i have just promoted, i am at a transition stage to another level and another role in the work i do. I personally find that i have too much work to do and it is almost impossible to produce the work within all the stipulated timelines. i'm always vexed and frowning, I have more than one job going on field, and some jobs to close and some jobs to plan.

i explained my situation to two groups of people.

Group A
Once, i explained it to the colleagues in my group (we are of the same level but they are more senior and experienced), the conclusion i gathered was that i am at the transition stage and i should get used to managing this amount of workload. to this group of people, my workload was reasonable.

Group B
I have a job which i share with colleagues from Group B, the job is in the closing stage. when i explained the situation to them, they said i had too much to do. they tried to help me cover the job so i can concentrate on the remaining.

Group C
Of the two jobs which are ongoing, one of it is shared among colleagues from three groups, two of which are new transitions seniors (including myself). our company works in the way of time booking. when we are booked on a job, we will do the work of that job. i have 80 hours in a week meaning every day i am booked on more than a job - obviously a clash in bookings. this is normal in Group A, and my colleagues thought nothing of it.

But this is uncommon in Group C. In order to book my colleagues time, the manager had to speak to the partner, and i am left to die. If i work late and all, i can still cope with the current heavy workload that i have. But this is the norm in Group A, there will be much more to come. It will never come to a stop.



I love my job. but i need a job that loves me too.
I hope this explains and i hope this serves as a reminder for myself to tender my resignation on the upcoming Wednesday.
