How To Get Help

Normal methods of trying to receive help at work have not worked. Here's the recent events that finally got the attention of upper management. Not a fine moment on my part but hopefully the lipservice delivered today is real.

Bullet style:

• Back to back meetings all day long for too many days, weeks, months, years(?)
• 200+ emails in inbox every day
• Critical communication/action to take by EOD (announced at noon after a very awkward meeting-not a good first impression on my part)
• Proper steps planned
• Proper steps ignored due to multitasking
• Poor communication (known minute the send button was clicked)
• Uproar
• Apology email
• Boss coaching on it "not being that bad" while I choked back tears.
• "Tomorrow we identify what responsibilities Erin can shed to turn 'unhappy' into 'sorta happy' to 'happy'"

We will see what tomorrow brings but not a fine moment on my part. I am my worst critic but at least people are noticing if things don't change, I am a risk (whether a business risk or a flight risk, you decide).
