Caught in Email Avalanche: The Battle for Work-Life Balance at a Mysterious Attraction

Imagine stepping into a job that seems like a perfect gap filler, only to find yourself drowning in an endless sea of emails, even on your days off! I recently landed a role at a massive, intriguing attraction, not a theme park, but it sure has its rollercoaster moments. Between news bulletins, blog posts, and ‘important’ updates that demand your attention 24/7, it’s like being on call without the pager. As I tried to navigate this email onslaught, I found myself in a showdown with a supervisor over my ‘free time’. Dive into the drama of my clash with corporate culture, and you be the judge: am I really the villain in this workplace saga? ️‍♂️
