I can already predict the kind of responses that will roll in here. But I'm burned out as well.

I worked through the entire so-called "pandemic" and haven't had a real vacation in years. Due to downsizing, people not wanting to work, and supply chain issues, it's been nonstop for me and I'm doing the job of three people (easily) at my current company.

I guess I'll get a break at some point - I'll just call it "retirement" when it does come.

It is well accepted that 80% of the workload is carried by 20% of the workforce.

Suck it up and get yourself a raise. If they won’t give you one (40% minimum) get going with the resume. In case you didn’t know this it is a very strong employees market.

Hats off to you. I’ve been working through this ‘’pandemic’’ in a hospital ER. Been exposed four times, seen people die almost daily, worked 12 hour shifts, worked and still working understaffed, I’m a housekeeper, there’s myself and one other person, sometimes a third to clean an 80 room ER.

Love the job though. Does get wearying but I keep at it. Got no choice. Got to keep going till I drop.
