“I'm the only one who does any work on my team”
What could be going on
Social loafing: Fits if others put in less effort because contributions aren't tracked.
Over-functioning and under-functioning: Fits if the more you do, the less they do.
Compulsively rescues: Fits if you jump in before others have a chance.
Self-sacrifice schema: Fits if you feel responsible for everyone's work.
Organisational justice: Fits if the workload is unfair and no one addresses it.
Resentment: Fits if the anger keeps growing but stays unsaid.
Questions to carry
- On the last shared task, at what point did I take it over, and who stepped back?
