Reply to comment by monkeying_around369 in Heavy workloads make employees feel a greater need for a break, but new research finds they may actually discourage employees from taking breaks at work despite causing high levels of stress, fatigue, and poor performance. by Wagamaga

I find that when the workload is overwhelming, it is the best time to leave. Let's employerknow the importance of the position. It may also help ensure work builds some redundancy in place so when I NEED to take time off, say for illness, I can.

I look out for boh future and current me.

Yeah but in a lot of roles the work just piles up until you're back.

I just do it at the pace I did before it got backed up. You can kinda just choose not to get too worked up or care. I clock out at the same time whether the work is piled up or not, and I do it at the same pace too.

Not sure how that applies to other industries but it works for me.

Not really. Just change jobs if they have a problem.

I dealt with this last year. Covid brought my team down to a skeleton crew, and then poor management caused further departures without replacement. After two years I took a single week of vacation and I know the whole time that nothing of my job would get done while I was gone because there was quite literally no one else to do it.

Investing in good management should be the first priority of any corporate. Without the presence of a management team who can handle the work stress of their employees, the corporate word never be able to achieve success

You would have to complete your work even if you are taking break
