Answer to: How to Recover After Unprofessional Behavior

There's a lot of good advice here, but I think you should also consider chatting to your manager again (as long as you feel safe to do so). You've gone to them initially to talk obliquely about your behaviour/perception by others, but possibly without really getting to the core of the problem, i.e. you feel stressed and burnt out. If your management is reasonable, then they should recognize that you being overworked is not in any way helpful, either for you or for them. Burnt out people make more mistakes and in many jurisdictions, the management have a duty of care to take steps to manage your stress levels/workload. Also, if your management are actually human, they're not going to want you to feel like this either :) While there is a lot that you can do in order to manage your own time and reduce stress, if the workload is too high, then that is something your management can/should address. You may also find when you talk to them that there isn't an expectation to work longer hours to get the work done - they may well prefer an honest assessment of the situation, e.g. I can do this new task, but it will mean that task B now won't get done until Friday rather than just working all hours to get everything done.
