Worked for this employer for 4 years. Many people have left and their responsibilities have been dumped onto me with no recognition of my efforts to keep things working or compensation for the extra workload. The job satisfaction has now almost completely disappeared as changes to the product offering have made the work much less interesting. I am now looking for a new job pretty actively. My boss is a good guy and would be an excellent reference. Should I tell him I am looking for a way out?

You work the same number of hours regardless how much more responsibilities they dump on you. If you used to work 8 hours then you stop at 8 hours, more work doesn’t mean you have to work 12 hours, that’s your choice.

Have you tried talking it through with the manager, without mentioning that you wanna leave? Sometimes managers are inclined to help you, keep you. If this doesn’t work out, I’d quietly look for a way out, no need to announce it.

I've been there before. These are possible reasons why it's happening:
1. Management is enhancing that behavior. They're aware that others are dumping their responsibilities on you but since you're holding up, there's no harm (that's what management thinks).
2. You are enhancing that behavior. You are only trying to get things done, some how you manage to complete tasks even though they're cumbersome. You're not supposed to be doing that, it's a company not one man business. Management will not increase your pay or add incentives because they're trying to minimize costs.

I learned the hard way, people were not doing their job and I got blamed for it. I will never be in that situation again.
