> Hi
> I am a school psychologist in NYC. Over the last 3 years our roles have changed dramatcly. We now do the job of 4 people. Before that, I would agree we had it a little to easy. Now . no matter how hard you work, how muc you do, I feel as though I have failed at my job. Myself and the city in general is furthe behind today then it was 3 years ago. While intellectually, I know the job is not doable, it sought of damages your self esteem when you are constantly being critisized. If you speed up and then make mistakes you hear about as well. Leaving might seem to be the answer, but after 11 years, pension high pay etc become big issues to consider. It is not like I have to stick it out a year or 2. I have at least 10 years to go. It could improve but I am not holding my breath. Any suggestions
> Rayany possibility of a response from the appropriate people about being over-worked? or if there isn't a response, can you set a schedule and/or be very clear about what is a realistic amount of work for you?
People tend to be very critical...I don't know why, tending to be unrealistic, not bothering to consider the details of it
sorry you're having trouble,
