Management talked the talk about teamwork, but in the end it was only the individual stats that mattered. I had to start to decline requests, since it was just adding to my workload and wasn’t even appreciated.
Is there anyone you could approach about training someone in the relevant team to deal with this work?

Ugh. That is truly unfortunate, and sadly, is the reality of most workplaces. It angers me....
I am going try and find someone to train on this task. It's too late now for the holiday, so I might as well just do it. But for the future, I am going to seek out someone to train on it. It looks like I will have to take matters into my own hands, because no one else is. And yes, I do get taken advantage of in my job in a lot of ways. I have the heftiest workload on my whole team, simply because I can handle it. Others on my team they have to speak with about time management, but not me. It doesn't pay to be more efficient; it just means more work.
