Work Chronicles – building business wisdom from working hard

Another problem – 3/12/26

Hope everyone is doing okay. Oh my gosh! It’s raining and thundering when it comes to the work tasks here for me. The harder I work, the more work I get. It never ends. I’m leaving for the day and MD “LAU” walks in to tell me about another problem she’s got. I’m already trying to hold it together as it is. It’s something MD “LAU” couldn’t control, but now it becomes my problem. I’m the problem solver whether the project is assigned to me or not.

MD “LAU” is very hands-off and she does expect a lot from her top performers which is one side of her team and not much from the other half which includes Director 1 who of course are okay because they are good with being low performers. Their performance is accepted. I have become an overworked staff not on her team and expected to bail out the low performers along with Director 1.

I have to find $100K in cost savings from other projects to cover the future deficit. I have to make a choice to either stay to be overworked or embrace a new chapter. I can’t guarantee that I can solve the problem, and if I can’t I’ll most likely be talked down to by her. She knows I’m going to do everything I can and make it happen. All the Best!

    I can see my third eldest sister in you. She’s a problem solver in some tasks of her colleagues. Hugs, Edith. God bless!

    I’m sorry you’re carrying such a heavy load. It sounds like you’re trusted because you’re capable, but that doesn’t make it fair to keep placing more and more on your shoulders. There comes a point where being dependable turns into being overwhelmed.

    I’ll be praying that God gives you wisdom as you decide whether to stay or embrace a new chapter.
