A little backstory. I have been with my company for 12 years. It's a family operated business. My husband became very sick last year and I had to take leave a few times. He passed away in September. My boss was super supportive and helped me through it emotionally and even financially at times.
While I was gone she hired her SIL who just had a baby to help out while I was gone. She brings the baby to work. It was ok at first but now he's older. Cries all the time and is crawling around getting into everything. It is a small office and we have to deal with customers and phone calls. It has become obnoxious. And I'm already emotionally overloaded with grieving. I'm in the process now planing the funeral as it's in 3 weeks. I do my best to keep my emotions in check.
However, I walked out today as I couldn't take the chaos anymore. All I want to do is my job. I love my job. But she gets paid to basically take care of the baby while I'm doing my job and having to do hers as well at times. I don't mind helping out but it's getting out of hand.
I just don't know what to do at this point. My boss said I could take the day off when he goes to his grandma's which isn't that often. Why would I do that when I can work in peace. And I need the money as my income got cut in half. I'm not in a position to get a second job as I'm working 6 days a week. My choice I need the money.
I know I need to say something but yet I'm afraid family will come first and I'll be out of a job.
