I found out I’m doing 70% of my team’s work

Started tracking my workload out of curiosity. Turns out I’m handling roughly 70% of what out team produces. Reports? Me. Client escalations? Me. Fixing Jason’s constant typos and forwarding “his” emails? Still me.

So I brought it up in my 1:1. Boss smiles and says, “You’re just really efficient. I don’t want to mess with a good thing.” Translation: please keep being a human buffer for your incompetent team for the same salary.

Meanwhile, Sarah “forgets” every deadline. Jason forwards entire client threads with a “can you handle?” and our junior literally waits for me to do anything before moving.

It finally clicked: I’m not a team player. I’m a crutch. And the second I stop carrying, this place limps.

Thinking about letting it all hit the floor just to see who notices.
