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

When my workload is overwhelming, I do what I can and I return to my boss with the work orders that haven’t been completed and say “I’ll add one or two of these in tomorrow and the next day to see if we can get caught up, but this is too much for today.”

I’m not going to pull the impossible and set crazy expectations for the future.

This will only work if you are boss is a wholesome guy, and not some rude dude

Yeah my boss is actually pretty great and works with me a lot on keeping reasonable deadlines. I will just tell them no go on things sometimes and have adopted more of a “it’ll get done when it gets done” attitude.
