WOW. Just WOW.

So, right now, there's only two of us left on my team to carry and manage work for 18 clients. I manage many clients of my own right now, and my more junior colleague does not. He's been doing projects for clients since coming on board two or so months ago.

So it's reporting week, in which I have 12 reports to write within 8 business days. I am almost done with my reports and will be done on day 6, Monday. I have other client worked lined up to accomplish all of next week, including side projects for clients that are not my own.

So, last week, I was given 3 projects with a tight next day turnaround. Everyone throughout my department was getting these tight deadlines from account services and were complaining to our boss about it since we have reports to write and other deadlines to meet.

My boss was collecting a list of these tight deadline/fast turnaround projects from the team to bring to the VP's attention as an issue. Well, right AFTER I gave my list to my boss of such projects, she then assigned me THREE MORE on Friday, all DUE ON MONDAY.

So I blew a gasget on her and was basically like, WTF??????? I mean, I didn't swear, but that was the gist. She said to take the issue to my VP if I have an issue. So I point blank told her "I don't want to go to the VP with this. YOU are giving me TOO MUCH".

I am blown away - literally blown away. JUST AFTER saying to me that these tight deadlines are unacceptable (essentially), she gives me three more with a 1-day turnaround????? When I am STILL writing my reports, when I have other client work to do for my own clients, plus competing deadlines?

I am beside myself and truly HATE this woman! It's like she doesn't listen AT ALL, OR she just pays lip service to my concerns and then does what she wants regardless!

So, I sent these 3 tasks back to the account manager, telling her I cannot do them on Monday, that I have other client work ahead for my OWN clients, and that perhaps my colleague can take these projects on. I am completely exasperated with not only this woman, but with account services.

This job SUCKS. I HATE it so very much!!!!!!! It's making me ILL.

I have interviews Monday and Tuesday, the ONLY silver lining.
