Orangyred I totally feel your pain. I absolutely hate my job. I deal with plenty of manipulative people. Lots of nonsense and my anxiety is increasing. The workload keeps increasing as a result of others not doing their jobs and there’s nothing that can be done about it.

I totally get that you say it’s not the right answer to leave right now. That’s the boat I’m in. Sometimes all you can do is keep sticking it out. I keep trying to develop better coping skills but so far I do little more than ruffle feathers and cause myself more grief in the process.

I wish you lots of luck. I hope venting helps... and to know that you’re not alone in this.
