So I have been in my job a fair while 6+ years. I’m good at it. It’s intense, I work on the front line and with a lot of conflict. I’ve never had any complaints, no performance reviews, no disciplinary, great feedback when I had an assessor.
However, our workloads are astonishingly high, way about 100%. Most of struggling. I’ve never complained about this, I’ve just got on with my work, my boss even called me low maintenance. I started to put in way more hours than I should, and well it become exhausting.
i finally plucked up the courage to tell my boss that I’m burnt out, I’m drained and am struggling with workloads. This is the first time I’ve ever brought it up.
now, ordinarily I have a good relationship with him. He is aware of my diagnosis etc etc. Occupational health reports further evidence that my issues don’t impact my work and I actually over work not under perform. That was that. As a result of telling my boss of my struggles he proceeds to tell me that he thinks May due to my diagnosis, this may not be the job for me, as well as being a single mother. Now, This threw me and really got to me. Has anyone else experienced anything like this at work due to their diagnosis? I took two weeks holiday leave to think about it all, and I honestly don’t want to go back, but feel if I don’t go back, it’s just more fuel for my boss to say the job isn’t for me. In my opinion it isn’t the job, it’s the workloads and pressures currently
