Although I love my job, the fact that we're understaffed without the money to hire new people added to my coworkers not wanting to pick up the slack, making me work all the time is slowing draining me. It doesn't help that everybody else keeps taking time off when they know we can't really handle that. But they don't care and I don't like leaving my boss out in the cold trying to scramble to replace somebody so I'll end up working weeks with 18+ hours of overtime, while they all go out and have fun. It's depressing.
Thanks for that. It really is but because of the other three one is retiring, one is looking at a new job, and the other is only here until he graduates college. We have to part timers but with them both having 2 other jobs they're not reliable to come in, and with how strict my boss is on hiring people it's not easy to get replacements. Baaaah rant over
Sounds like you're being taken advantage off and need to learn to set some boundaries. It's okay to say no. The problems other people create for themselves are not your problems. You can help them out every once in a while, but not carry their weight.

Sound like every man for himself attitude. My sympathies to you. You sound like a valuable employee and will do well in future.

In time-remember this too will pass.
