    “We” didn’t downsize. Your bosses downsized. Do you see any of them doing the work of 4 people?

    I’m not going to add to your load by giving you unrealistic orders to rise up against the unfairness.

    But I will say, just do as much as you can without overtaxing yourself and no more. If you got sick, what would happen to those tickets? Does it have to come to that, or is there a way to make it happen while you’re still healthy enough to do your fair share of them?

    I wonder if you could find a way to phrase it as concern for the company’s profits and reputation, and suggest they hire back one person. Even suggest the person you think would be the best help to you, since you’d both still be doing twice the work you were before.

    Meanwhile you might start looking for a different company… And if anyone complains about the tickets piling up, invite them to compare how many you’re doing now to how many each person was doing before.

    Good luck, kiddo.
