I’m part of the first group and my PL seemed very stressed out about that. said they wished I was staying longer.
my thing is I am done. my PL has piled on more work for me while allowing pi-s poor performance from others (and I have been doing their jobs for the last three years).
I have listened to my PL give every excuse under the sun as to why others can’t do better, including the fact that I can do the work faster and with high accuracy… so?
I know this is not a unique circumstance and high performers are usually given more work while others continue to coast. I’m beyond burnt out and exhausted.
I’m so anxious about them prolonging my departure instead of putting responsibilities where they belong, back to the people whose job it is. my actual responsibilities can easily be distributed, the work I do is not that complex.
the difference with my colleagues covering my work is I won’t be here. I covered theirs while they whined and complained about every. little. thing. they sat and got paid. I did it all. I’m done.
