I am struggling through a rough work situation. While it’s stable and pays well, it has been mentally and emotionally draining on me for months and I am in a constant state of burnout. Coworkers are abusive and bullying and it’s seen as “acceptable” because people don’t understand the pressures put on IT departments. I am constantly fighting with VPs at my company with little support from management or HR and am having to become someone I do not like. My family is not getting the best of me because of how drained I am at the end of every day. I’m expected to work more than 50 hours per week and am doing the job of multiple people. My staff is overworked, burnt out, and I’m managing their emotions as well as having to manage the emotions of my family. I don’t have a support structure to fall back on at work, home, or church and because I am employed I feel any issues I have are brushed off as “stop whining – at least you have a job”. I feel defeated and unable to ask for help or prayer.
