[quote=Anonymous]I was recently promoted into a new, work-specific position after a colleague left for another opportunity. The role is funded by a grant, and I'm the only one assigned to this particular workload. When I stepped into the position, I inherited an incomplete and disorganized backlog from the person who left. On top of that, I receive new assignments daily, which are time-sensitive and can't be postponed. As a result, I’m juggling both the old and new work, and I'm falling behind. Despite regularly working 50-hour weeks, I can't seem to catch up. I’m starting to feel stuck. I’m concerned that my supervisors may soon question why I’m behind, but I’m also hesitant to bring it up proactively. I don’t want to appear incapable of handling the workload or give the impression that I’m already complaining. Has anyone else been in a similar situation? How did you navigate it?[/quote]
