how long have you been in your role? and do you have any coworkers that feel similar to you that you know about?
assistant
Question
I have been in this role for about a year. I am the only one at this level. I take care of a lot of the productivity and logistical work. Im just really stressed recently

Somewhat similarly I'm in a supply chain role, for a year now, and the only one at my level too. I often feel like I'm alone in my job and that I manage my boss... It's pretty frustrating. is there anything that makes your job less stressful?

I think that being able to have a better work life balance would help but I have a hard time talking to my boss.

do you think your boss would be receptive if you did talk to them? or would they dismiss your concerns?
assistant
Question
I am unsure. They are very much all about work. I am afraid they wont see my point and understand my want for a better work life balance.

This has been a pretty hard year for everyone. however you ultimately gotta do whats best for you. Have you considered searching for a new job?

I have but it is hard to find a job at this time. I also really like what I do but wish I could have more balance. Do you have any advice for how to balance stress at work and your life outside of work?

I'm in the same boat. I would say, the things that work best for me, are to take breaks during my work day and go for walks or as soon as I'm done with work I force myself to go for a walk. I find moving helps me feel better. I also use that time to think about how I can look for a new job or rethink the things that are bothering me maybe you can try something similar?

I think I could try that. I have a hard time detaching from work especially working from home. I feel like I never really 'leave' the office. I am always working even when I normally wouldnt be.

Change the scenery, it'll help! plus movement releases endorphins which make you feel better.
