We have significantly downsized through the china virus impact last year and now there seems to be to much to do. I am grateful to be working but really don't know how to handle the amount of work that is being requested of me short of working 70 or more hours a week. I just ad a meeting with one of my bosses and they now want me to pick up yet more tasks, this time are out of my skill set.

I maybe I am just whining but I am like... I don't even know what to do. Its like when everything is a priority--nothing is a priority--but the demands still come.

Honestly? Stop caring, take the paycheck and do the bare minimum. This same company will happily shitcan your ass for not meeting metrics, so who seriously gives a fuck anymore? Do what you can, politic out the ass, find some excuses and work on making your community a better, whiter place. You really think some corporate globo homo company isnt gonna fuck off anyways when the going gets rough?

This company has already shown they give zero fucks about you, your skillsets, or your time, and you want to entertain them with the idea you can do it all. And what next, are you gonna suck their dicks too?

Lol. This is the sediment I am worried about. Perhaps it is the right thing to do, but I have 5 kids and need to make sure I have income. Perhaps its my pride, but I don't want to go on welfare for them (my wife has said we should do this a few times but I just don't feel right about it).

I aint suckin' no dick neither, but the hyperbole does serve a good point--the one I am struggling with now.

Downsize your lifestyle so you can stop being stuck.

Dont fucking quit, but dont blow your load either. Just find out what the bare minimum is to not get fired, and work off of that. Then, when someone asks you to do XYZ, tell them your overworked and to hire more resources. In my company, for example, the upper management intentionally failed to do some tasks, as a political maneuver to hire more resources. It eventually escalated until all our asses were on the line, but no one got fired. Use the company politics to your advantage

In other words, just start working like the blacks do. This is the best advice. Just keep pushing back.

Spend 1/2 your "work hours" updating and sending out your resume. Get offers, use it as leverage.

You look out for you and your kids. You think spending 70 hours so those kids can be "taught" by the t..v, jewtube, and feminist's at "skool" are helpful ?
