I think your best bet is to have a clear and transparent conversation with them about how you’re feeling in terms of your workload so that you can identify viable solutions - hopefully one of them is hiring more people.

By giving them tangible data points that the current team is overburdened. You can't do much with "I feel" , but a lot with "I know" and "here's why".

Write it out and show what areas you need more support in. It's not unusual to need new team members sometimes, especially if a project is bigger or different from the last one.

Not just tell him how do you feel also show him how does this affect your productivity and give him a good reason, if he cares about his business he will be appreciated.

Show your responsibilities in your job in written form and create statistics. In this way, he can understand and accept that he will produce better results with more people.

How soon is too soon to quit a job? I took what seemed like a great offer, with competitive pay, a hybrid schedule, and 15% travel. However, I’m about 1.5 months in and the job is miserable. I’m working 50 hour weeks with no breaks to keep up with the demand, there is minimal training or support, I can’t work hybrid yet, I get 24/7 phone calls, and they’ve asked me to travel once a month for the remainder of the year. At this point, I’m only staying for fear of how it will look on my resume.

I’m graduating with an MPH in Epidemiology in spring/summer 2023. I’m an international student and will have an OPT. Work as a GRA, great GPA, 5 years of experience in Oil&Gas compliance and internal controls before. Looking for a job in Austin or remote, preferably with a focus in MCH. I’d like to make the most money I can because I’m a single mom. Should I start with state employment to gain relevant experience, or can I try private companies right away? Any recommendations are welcome!

Hi Folks,

I'm actively looking for a job change in a profile completely different than what I'm doing currently.
My manager is sending me on-site and this will interrupt my interviews and preparation also.
And by that time if I receive any offer letter, I don't know what should I do?

Shall I reject the on site opportunity or go with it and reject the new offer?
