I'm so tired of my VA job

If kulang yung tea. Lmk I'll answer them and be kind sa comments. If mag judge and down lang kayo just don't say it. Hate or bringing others down when they're down is an expensive feeling.

Hi everyone. M27 here. Quick context muna. Currently working as a directly hired rockstar VA that pays $7.5 per hour, quarterly sales incentives and year-end bonuses with 8 paid leaves per year.

Been with my client for almost 2 years now. My roles are SMM, SEO, Copywriting, Web Dev, MMA, Automations, Analytics, and etc. Basically everything you can think of in an online consultancy company except the finances section of that since my client handles that.

Anyways, here's the tea:

My client is kind, understanding, and patient.

I'm super tired, overwhelmed, unrealistic deadlines, sudden changes, unclear instructions because of those sudden changes. Like super dami ding pinagagawa as in for example podcast editing, spotify/youtube thumbnail, podcast reels and everything you could really think of.

I've raised it calmly and politely multiple times that my client should get one person for each role, but my client's always just shrugging it off and says we'll have AI agents to do those for you. Like, gets naman AI is somehow part of the future but come on. AI is limited with or without API keys.

So recently, they got a new Filipina VA whom I'm showing the ropes to and she's currently also handling my client's real estate and personal things. I mean yea it's been a big help. Problem is that since I haven't really fully given her tasks I can confidently delegate with her. It hasn't changed a lot for the workload that I've got on my end. Although she is very proactive.

Also there are tons of times when my clients says that this task should be like this and in a few days he says another thing about that task which is contradicting to his first order. It makes things difficult tbh.

The platform we're using is ClickUp. Which is very unorganized no matter how much you organize it lol.

Para kasing tinatry niyang mag "company hack" alam niyo yun? Like get one person to do everything for you type of shit.

Nakakapagod. Gusto ko na talaga mag resign as in. Pero ewan ko. Lost lang talaga ata ako. Parang nakakatakot din kasi umalis because of what's happening around the world. So, honestly di ko alam. Masyadong madaming trabaho para sa karampot niyang pasweldo.

I need your advices guys and gals. Help me find an answer. Thanks in advance!
