There is a crisis in UK HE. The immediate causes of this are mostly financial, and high workloads are principally a result of institutions "sweating the assets". You are the asset. You are being sweated. The reason you are doing so much is because they are asking so much. 2/
This job should be fun, for all its difficulties. So have fun til the music stops, or get going and start having fun in a new job. You're allowed to feel sad, too. But you can't sustain a professional life overwhelmed by sadness. 17/
