So lately, like most other stores, things are tough. I've been without an ETL for a few long months (S&E) so lately my partner and I have been doing some of the ETL work for our area, without slipping tooooo much on service (we have slipped a little). Meanwhile there are tons of challenges keeping staffed and managing behavior in the team. What this has resulted in is a really big satisfaction with taking on more responsibility, succeeding at a lot of it and learning a ton and bringing the team up. Days where I'm legit excited to go into work and face what's next. But it is also causing me sleep issues where I have these mundane Target dreams of like, doing everyday work stuff. And not even wild dreams where a guest throws a baby at you or something. But like, processing a return on an unopened box of q tips, and getting somebody's pick up order. And moments of serious frustration where I feel like I should leave, and dread coming to work. I guess it's a bipolar attitude about my job, mostly positive on balance.
Is this what burnout looks like right before it hits? Or is this just what the job looks like for everybody the more you learn?
