There are quite lot of good comments on approaching boss and talking about your issue. I agree with them but let me ask:
your boss doesn't know that you are overloaded ? Can't he see there are people in this team working less and probably getting paid more than you? If that's the case, why he didn't act so far? Is he biased towards few members?
Bottom-line is , if your boss doesn't know that you are overloaded and work is not split fairly- you can explain him about burnout issue, I'm pretty sure he will solve the issue.
If your boss doing all this intentionally, in order to make you to fall in line. I'd highly recommend getting a new job and then talk to him. Just to be on safer side, if talks didn't go well.
Again read my disclaimer :)
EDIT : Oh..wait..there is one boss. He's kind of technical guy,which i admire & respect. I can say I had one only good boss in these 10+ years. I changed 4 companies and met around 10 boss's in different projects.
- yitchelle 11y ago> I cant change my attitude. I hope that this is a typo because in a relationship, the only attitude that you have in your power to change is yours, not your boss.
- giis 11y agoSorry,no its not a typo. Its not just about maintaining relationship, I don't like give my self-respect for the sake of being in their good books. (which can fetch me things like promotion/money/travel etc). Instead of 'i can't" it should have like 'I don't want to change my attitude'. I strongly believe there must be mutual respect between you and boss. It can't be one-way. Again, as I mentioned its more specific my work environment so far. I believe culture plays vital role once you reach boss position.
- mrweasel 11y ago>your boss doesn't know that you are overloaded ? He might not, people have different stress levels. I get stressed pretty easily, my boss, not so much. As for not wanting/be able to change your attitude: I don't think you should be expected to. There will be jobs you can't hold, but telling someone that their attitude needs adjusting is somewhat narrow-minded. I behave, act and react in certain ways. That's just who I am, that excludes me for working for a large range of companies, but mostly is companies I wouldn't want to work for.
- giis 11y ago>He might not then its good news, should definitely have a chat with him.
