When you talk to your management and show them how overworked you are and ask for a helper. But don't just say how much, show them in business lingo so they actually understand.

Fill out your calendar with the meetings and show management how you have no time for meaningful work because of meetings.

I'm on the Municipal side. City Council ain't gonna raise taxes to hire more people.

I'll get burned out and leave soon enough. The longest-serving person in the development department has been here just over a year, and we pay nearly double what other cities in the area do.
