    In over my head.

    I think I have all but given up here. I need to find a new place. I understand, hopefully, most of the mistakes I have made and the situations I want to avoid in the future. I don't really want to give up, but It is becomeing painfully obvious to me that I am not what this company needs. I...

    In over my head.

    Thank you for the advice. See the problem compilcates because this is a small company so the only one above my boss is the owner. We don't have an HR dept. per se. We just have an employee that is aware of the mental heath of the others. :) Our team (between the three of us we have 5 1/2...

    In over my head.

    Okay, I finally think I have hit a wall. I don't know how to talk to my manager. He doesn listen to me at all and the leader of the team gives into all his (sometimes unreasonable) demands. I can't keep up. In my opinion the job has gone beyond it's original scope and I am failing to keep up...

    How do I stop being overwhelmed?

    Thanks for all the suggestions. Yes, all my teammates feel that we have so much to do that we will never get it all done. I guess I need to get over my feeling that my boss has to be right even when I know something will not work in the time time frame he set up. I am hoping more experince...

    How do I stop being overwhelmed?

    Thanks for the suggestions! However, I tried using the estimates and I get this look from my boss that just makes me doubt everything I just said. Will I become immune to his look?

    I need to create a return trackig system so that we can manage mail that is returned to us. Our solution so far is to put a "tracking" number on each piece of mail that we send out so that if it is returned to us we can load the record from the database for an update instead of typing in the...
