I'm terrified to tell my manager that I can't keep up with the workload. I have been dealing with increasing feelings of burnout and anxiety for months. But I know I'm replaceable, so I keep pushing myself. But it's getting to be too much, and I'm dying for a break. What the hell do I do here? Losing my job isn't an option for me.

Same here. Just came to say you’re not alone. I’m also looking for a way to frame it. Maybe see if you can get approved for FMLA? It’s unpaid though but it’ll give you a little break.

Are you being expected to work long hours? Your only option is to start setting boundaries on your time and force yourself to stick to them.

Same here! I feel like you should talk to your manager about it but come up with a plan of action before having this convo!

Wonder if anyone can offer advice on which cert to pursue next? I obtained my CompTIA Security+ last year and wondering if I should go for the CySA+ or Pentest+ next. I also have my AWS CCP and will be sitting for the Solutions Architect soon as well. Currently not doing security stuff at work but would love to keep my skills going. I was hoping one of these next certs will help me finally break into a security role and love the idea of pentesting but not sure if the CySA+ is more beneficial.

Hi! I have many years of experience in Compensation and Benefits (HR) strategies to attract, retain and motivate talents in big corporations.
