How do i tell my boss I'm overworked

Hey,

So I am in a similar situation to you where I have 3 projects under me and I have to basically be the PM, EM, Scrum Master, Analyst etc.

I’ve had conversations with my boss (CEO) that I can’t do things properly with the load but he just continues to dump things on me.

I’ve decided that ima look elsewhere cause they don’t seem to value their employees Health and welfare. Mind you they have more than enough cash flow to hire senior folks.

This is how I recommend you broach this; “Hey, I feel overworked due to all the responsibilities and it is seriously affecting my health and performance. I believe I’m not being compensated for the work that I do. Is there anyways we can re prioritise my tasks and also revise my remuneration ?

I would greatly appreciate that”

If they try to dodge or say no time to look else where man. You should not take shit from them.

Just quit. You're 100% being exploited.

In similar position and looking for ideas 🙈. The story forwarded is that it’s being dumped on from higher levels so there’s no escape.

You are an intern. Everything else you said is meaningless if it doesn't lead to full time employment. Just quit and graduate and find a new job

Dude just quit, there is no ownership in internship.

Thoda sa opposite answer dunga than others Think on why you joined. I doubt it was money. I understand fair compensation and all in for it, but think what you really are learning and growing and is it worth it.

Even if he dodges question, fuck it. Just sit with yourself and understand your needs -Very Clearly - right them down. Fir talk to him about it, aur dekh thoda har cheez painful hota and thoda non learning bhi. I know it's shitty but buddy this is best time to learn how to work with shit.

Most CEOs juggle through ideas and random inputs, and they put them on motion. Realigning those things and shifting gears as per visions is a fun part. I think you joined start-up considering long term being in start-up. Toh this is going to be a thing you'll be do in nearly all roles.

Baaki bro, lage toh le break and fir lag jaana jaha man kare.

Faced this. So i had proper conversation with my manager regarding my remuneration and hike considering the workload. He dodged, then i talked to the tech lead regarding this. He told to wait a few more months till situation gets better.

I resigned the next week. But i made sure i communicated with everyone my problem before taking the step, they could be genuinely busy. But even after that if they don't respect then you have to respect your time.

Internships are supposed to be for a short pre-defined period of time. Usually 3-6 months at the most. How long have you been working there? The fact that you are managing important projects, is a good thing. Most organizations don't value the interns enough to give them anything meaningful to do. Most interns are exploited with menial administrative tasks where there is no learning. If you are handling important responsibilities you should have enough leverage to negotiate a full time opportunity with them either immediately or post your graduation/end of your internship contract. I would recommend formalizing it with paperwork sooner rather than later. If that's not happening then you should be prepared to look for something else. Whether you want to continue in the meantime is totally up to you. If you are learning a lot then that's a great payback at this stage of your career (till the time you find a full time opportunity)
