So, you've clearly put a lot of attention into reading my takes on a variety of things, including some pretty old Tweets, and I would imagine the motivation behind that has a lot to do with that last bit about your lazy coworkers.

It sounds like your workplace is probably set up in a way that is not equitable, or that people have too much on their plates relative to the number of staff that are there, or that something systematically is otherwise screwy and inept, and you're picking up a lot of the slack. It's a frustrating situation, it can be one that absolutely wrecks a person's quality of life. I know a friend who has been forced to work 80 hour weeks to clean up messes left behind by other people. So I really can't blame you for looking at the people who left you those messes and wanting to explain their behavior as "laziness." That makes it pretty tidy to condemn them for having screwed you over royally, and for seemingly not caring about the impact their actions had on you.

I don't necessarily think you having compassion for those coworkers is the most important thing in the world. I don't think they're lazy, personally, I think there are systemic issues going on here, but if you're the one getting a ton of work unfairly dumped on you, it's not necessarily on you to be the bigger person here. I do think, however, that focusing on the "laziness" of these coworkers distracts from the root issue -- your workplace clearly is not structured right, or there is a failure of management to take care of you when these messes happen. You've been failed. A lot, it sounds like. You don't have to be all flowers and butterflies about your coworkers right now, though I do imagine they have a lot of stressful things going on just as you do -- I'd say someone else, probably a whole network of someones above you, is far more deserving of such ire.

I'm sorry you're having to deal with all that shit! It really is exhausting and draining and unjust.
