Advocating for my needs at work. - June 11th 2022, 12:58 AM
There are three of us that do my job: me, JL, and JC.

JL is going to have a baby and is leaving the organization, which will just leave me and JC. There is no possibility of hiring anyone else.

I try to work limited hours due to my mental health screwing me up, but work up to 25 (normally less). I think I'll be taking on most of JL's work when she leaves, because JC never gets assigned as many cases as JL and I do. My boss already told me that it'll be just me and JC, "not to stress me out," and that I can work over the 25 hours if I want but to let her know first so she can budget for it.

No, I don't want to work over the 25 hours but I feel like that's what's going to end up happening because of JL leaving. How do I advocate for my needs during the times where I mentally cannot work the 25 hours?
