My job as a manager is getting tougher every day. The demands from Head Office and all the staffing problems are now getting to me. Plus my boss above me can't do his job right and it all comes to me when he fails to do his right. My staff comes to me with all their problems because they know I will try to fix them. I need help.
Life is too short for all the problems on a daily bases.
Thanks for your time. I manage a staff of 135. Clearly this job has gotten away from you and there doesn't appear to be anyone to whom you can turn to for either help or guidance. The bottom line is that you should probably seek other employment before your situation turns into a disaster. But, before you jump into another job that could be just as difficult as this one, you need to do a some honest soul searching and determine what it is about your current responsibilities that you are unable or unwilling to handle.
