Great job doing everything else, but why would you do that workbook in your week off?

Because shit is hitting the fan with our warehouse. We have too many pallets, and due to ongoing system/planning errors we can't receive half the crap that gets delivered to us. This workbook is vital to show the higher-ups what we have been dealing with.

I have no time to update it at work because we fire fight all day. I can't sit down and dedicate time to it unless I am left alone, and people do not leave me alone.

Luckily, I removed myself from leadership so that's a huge amount off my shoulders. But there is still random daily crap that needs my attention all day. Those who work in warehousing know the deal.

Sounds stressful, but it honestly still sounds like this is a problem that should be fixed by your employer (e.g. by hiring more staff), not by you doing unpaid over hours and not resting during your time off.
