Brands are now looking for ONE community manager to handle all communications and still have multiple titles. Why do I need to be a filmmaker, dance choreographer, comedian, life coach, graphic designer, copywriter, data analyst, etc.? Must I also have a knack for useless trivia to be considered? We need more social teams for crying out loud.

Exactly what I'm saying! Probably one of the reasons why some businesses and companies are not doing great is that they don't invest in making more social teams.

The burnout is REAL. I’ve never once felt like I completed a task or like cleared my to-do list for the day. My day-to-day consists of endless community managing, coming up with new ideas, making videos, graphics, or trying to explain a new trend.

Exactly what I am talking about. My job description is a combination of 2-3 roles. How am I supposed to perform all of them?

On the flip side, you can leverage your transferable skills to go into copywriting, VA work or something new entirely if that’s really what you want to do. I left to be a copywriter in the ad world and it was way better!

They are trying to save costs. By doing so, we are overworked and underpaid. Some companies will never change.

Have you tried asking for a raise? I mean you deserve a raise considering the fact that you're doing a lot of things. Good luck, OP!

It must have been so exhausting. It happened to me before. The burnout was unimaginable.

Honestly, this needs to be stopped. Employers think it's okay because we need money or want to advance in our careers. But this is far from being okay.
