I'm feeling overwhelmed by my workload, but I don't want to ask for help because I fear looking like I'm unqualified to do the job. What should I do?

How many years of experience do you have?

The best thing to do is to talk to your supervisor. They can give you tips on managing your time better or help you lighten your load. Don't be afraid to ask for help, that's what they're there for!

Try to identify the sources of your stress and work on ways to reduce them. Also take some time for yourself to relax and recharge your energy

Ask to have additional help added on at the company to assist with the workload

Finally got my hands on one. I was expecting it to feel much cheaper than it does. Definitely still get the quality feel that Swatch is known for. The weight is nothing like a real speedy, but still looks great imo. I went with the Mission to Pluto as I didn’t want one that looks too much like the real thing, and the Mars/Sun versions had the gauche white strap imo. Overall pleased for $260.
