What can u do to protect your job if your supervisor piles on 2 much wrk & u have already told her its 2 much?

I am an the only FHA/VA underwriter for my company. I doubled our loan volume in the last month to $7M singlhandedly( the last underwiter was terminated and I was laterally moved into the position) but when i asked for clerical support it was refused. My supervisor has no clue of what my job entails and is never satified. I cant continue at this pace without help or w/o sacrificing accuracy.. I am at the point that I want to be fired so I can collect. My morale is so low, I never got any positive feedback. I am a good underwriter and a hard worker. What should I do?

Data and facts. Try finding an industry association and find others in your line of work to discuss this with (networking is always good). Look for surveys on transactions handled per person on average (the sort of thing your employer should be using for capacity planning). If the survey data and/or associations really don't exist, create them -- you're not alone and you've then found a growth opportunity. Demonstrate to your supervisor, with that data, how many peoples' jobs you are performing. Then, take care of your health and needs -- if this part feels like hard advice to hear then try reading "The Power of Full Engagement" (Loehr and Schwartz) -- refreshing & excellent tips on getting back into balance in a way your employer benefits from too.

Why not try sitting your supervisor down and having a heart- to-heart talk or even better go to her superior. Either way if you loose you will be able to collect if they disagree with you or...you will have lighter work load. On the other hand if all else fails.....tough it out and seek better employment. Don't quit this job until you have found another.
GOOD LUCK SWEETIE .....ASK GOD AND HE WILL HELP YOU

Take it up the ladder, your boss will work you as hard as she can, for as long as she can if you let her. If you are salaried, start keeping track of how many hours you actually put in on the job. If you are hourly, then make sure you are getting paid all the overtime you are entitled to.

You do not have legal recourse to protect your job unless you are being treated differently due to belonging to a protected class (race, religion, national origin, etc.). I would suggest doing the best that you can and see if you can make any processes more efficient. If you continue to be overworked with no end in sight, I would start looking for another job.

Never try to be fired -- it's not good for self-esteem or your work history.

In order to protect yourself from possible negative reviews by your supervisor, begin to document your actual work load, noting in a personal business diary [on a daily basis] when you began whatever task, the name of the client or account number, when you completed the task and how many entries or pages were submitted, etc. Should there be a showdown with your supervisor, you can readily refer to the diary and end any frivolous allegations with showing of your performance record as memorialized in your business diary. Producing hard facts, truly cuts through any unfair evaluation of your work performance by your supervisor.

Good luck!
