My ex was so happy when they went to unlimited PTO, but she's overworked as it is and nobody does her job when she's not there, on top of her boss just dumping her work down on her. So she has to do extra work on the day before and after, so she just quit taking days off until HR told her she needed to take 4 days off in the next 2 weeks and that just meant 8 days of busting her ass, and she was livid.
Tell them to quit busting their ass for a company that despises them. If the company just keeps throwing work ontop of overworked employees, task prioritization kicks in and I start asking for priority lists to determine what has to be done and what can slip. When I get told that it's all important and nothing slips, I just respond with 'hire someone or tell me what has to complete or can be missed, or I'll use my best judgement and choose what I work on'. You have me for 40hrs, maybe 45 on a bad week. If you give me 60 hours worth of work in a 40 hour week, I'm going to let 1/3 of what you give me burn. It's your choice what gets burned lol.
I loved the day that a shit manager said he'd fire me for that, and he really did not appreciate the combo response of "don't threaten me with a good time" and "lol you don't have the manpower for your work as is and are getting hell from upper management, you can't afford to lose me". Was very satisfying to quit with no notice a month later while he was talking shit about replacing me. Heard it took a few months to find that replacement too.
This. A company paying for 100% effort shouldn't expect 150%.
And most companies don't even pay 100%.
She should just do less. Sounds like she's a good worker, they won't fire her. Standards are lower than we tend to think
She has ADHD like me. She won't stop and she gets taken advantage of.
It sounds more like work addiction, though.
You don't know ADHD, then.
"has to do extra work" ... that is a question of priorities, isn't it.
