Under appreciate them right back. Try to keep work about funding your lifestyle.

I don't know how intense or emotional your job is, so that advice might not be practical. But I do think everyone needs to set boundaries, but also emotional boundaries. Please make sure work isn't wearing you down when you aren't there. Try taking a few minutes to reset after clocking out, and close the door on your work day.

Thanks. I don't take my work home as such but I also do have a partner that lends a sympathetic ear when I need it. So I'm lucky in that regard. Truthfully, I get to focus on my home life the moment I'm off the clock.

At the time of answering though, we could have used a few extra hands.

Assuming that you don't work somewhere where people's safety isn't in your hands, just try to remember that every system, including each person in it has finite capacity.

Can you use recent history for workload capacities to make the case to your leadership that they either need to hire more workers or rethink their resource planning?
