In programming world is it possible to tell your employer I
I am working in trading company and write programs for their needs. I am really fed up of their requests. During past three consecutive years I almost did every thing for them and now I feel exhausted even simplest things become so tough for me. I developed/integrated things like their ERP, Microsoft CRM. I developed their payroll and SCM system from scratch. Now they have 170 employees. What should I do to them I am not happy with their request and need peace of mind at least for a month or two isn’t it my right to have such a break?
It is definitely your right to be treated fairly in the workplace. You might want to arrange a meeting with you boss to talk about the situation. Remind them of how valuable you are to the company, how much work you have done for them, and give them your requests. In the end, your health is most important. If they can’t comply with your reasonable requests, it would be best to find a more equitable position.
Well in your opinion it sounds like you need a partner to help you split up the work.
Take a vacation for a month or two and this may make ’em realize ur importance in ur absence.Also ask them to hire a coworker for u to divide workload.
You could explain to your employer that the task at hand is a little overwhelming and you need a week or two to figure it out. Take your time, relax and write, deliver the request. Do that with a couple of projects in a row and your mind should unwind. If your boss don’t cut you the time you need to regroup maybe a change is what you need. Not all employers appreciate talent.
As a professional programmer, you’re bound only by whatever agreement you made when you took the job. If you want to find out what your employers can demand of you and what they can’t, look over that agreement. This applies to pretty much any job, not just programming. From what I’ve heard, some employers can be really stupid when it comes to not understanding programming issues, so in that case I guess you’ll either have to one, follow their insane instructions, two, convince them you know what you’re doing better than they do, or three, quit. In any case these are mostly issues you should be talking about with your boss, not random people on Yahoo Answers.
