Quick Success Tips from the Carnegie Coach
Getting overwhelmed by an extensive list of duties is not uncommon. You should
definitely speak with your boss about this situation. Here are some suggestions of
things you can talk about:
1. Bring up your job description. Whether it is a job
posting or a detailed list of duties given to you at the
start of the job, talk about what your expectations were
compared to what you are currently doing.
2. Speak about your health concerns. Constant anxiety
at work should not be something that an employee has
to deal with. Nervous tension, aside from decreasing
productivity, is known to cause various health problems.
3. Quantity does not equal quality. Speak about the
quality of your work – how it would be if you had time
to put into each task. If your on the job performance
decreased as a result of handling too many duties your
boss should definitely be aware of it.
