Next month will make two years at my job. Initially, I jumped right in, going above and beyond. I soon realized I was doing the equivalent of at least three roles, and the more I worked, the more that was given to me. Within three to six months in the role, I was already burned out, but I found a way to keep going. I also reached out to my director for help, and she started to help me every now and again where needed. That little support here and there would give me the push I needed, and I made it to one year. Shortly after the one-year mark, my director abruptly informed me that she was leaving. We were a two-person team, both working on multiple projects--together and individually--and being overworked. The difference is she seemed to welcome the stress or couldn't say no to any and everything presented to her, so it made it hard for me to do anything different. When she left, my company hired multiple people to take over one of the projects she was working on alone. All of the other projects that she was working on alone and all the projects we were working on together fell solely in my lap. After my director left, I got a promotion in title and salary (to manager), but I had already been doing the work, and now I was doing even more. I have been STRUGGLING since she left. I got so behind on one of my primary projects because one of her projects needed immediate attention. She promised that she would be available to me for that project, but then she ghosted me. I can't blame her, but still. I've had no one else to turn to, and almost a year later, I'm still playing catch up. I've been through two supervisors since she left, and the first one left within four months. The second supervisor is a veteran employee and has given me extreme insight. However, we work in two different parts of the company, so I still don't have help or specialized support. I've begged her and the person over her (with her encouragement) to hire an assistant or some form of additional support since July 2023. Six months later, they finally brought someone in last week (January 8th), but at this point, it's too late. I'm grateful for the help, and I'm trying to be motivated for the new person, but I'm barely hanging in there. I honestly don't know how to go on. I've been applying to new jobs, but what do I do in the meantime? I really need the money and insurance, so I can't quit, but I would like to leave on my own accord before I'm forced to leave due to lack of or poor performance. I got an above-average performance review as recently as October, and I'm doing enough to get by, but I don't know how much longer I can continue. This is a fast-paced role with a ton of responsibility. I've pulled countless all-nighters, and I have to give 110% effort and work well beyond 40 hours if I want to keep up. I just don't have it in me anymore.
