Strange first post,
I guess having a job these days makes you better off than many, it's hard times so I guess you will just have to bite your tongue .

Its the same every mate, I manage a team and my immediate manager took redundancy in April and his work has been divided up between myself and the other team leader. The firm has saved itself £50,000+ and we have ended up with more work, stress and pay cut to boot as no rise for the last two years.:mad::mad:

I feel I can relate to your predicament as I once used be with BT at their eastbourne exchange doing phone & line repairs and the boss began pileing it on, first single phones then guest house single lines in with numerous extentions finally switching equipment at small hotels. Ok, but I was promised a "slow" intro to these systems but found myself thrown on courses and out to repairs thereof within a few months of starting.
The boss even expected any coin box repair jobs to be done while driving back to base even after our 8 daily repair job requirements had been met! Working through lunch breaks was commonplace.
I found I was spending time stressly worring about the job and finally said "sod it" and went.

All this happened during the 1980's when unemployment was at almost 3 million but dispite this, I found it actually better not being under this pressure 40 hours a week every week, it was begining to affect me psycologically.
Isn't it sad that there's been so much tech, social & political change since the 1980's but little to none to the rudaments of daily life.
