Sneaking away from my boss to post this before I get caught ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

So I’m 22, been doing accounting for a small company in Phuket for almost a year, but some days it feels like I’m learning a different language.

Last night I had to stay at the office until almost midnight because the boss emailed at 23:43 saying they absolutely needed the report today, like ASAP. For real. I was there alone with a small iced coffee and a blue-ink pen, and after a while my screen was a mess of files. I was pulling info from employee slips — some people hadn’t even sent theirs completely — hunting for papers in a folder with yellow stickers, then cross-checking with the LINE group chat where everyone was talking about a hundred different things and my head was spinning. Ugh, so dizzy. Then when I started keying data the computer froze. Total facepalm. It was past 2 a.m. and I spent almost an hour just looking for one file.

Some coworkers like to dump work on the desk before they leave and say “help me out, okay?” but they don’t save the original file, or they change numbers in the morning and don’t tell anyone. I have to trace everything back alone. I’m angry, but I have to smile, because if I complain too much they’ll think I’m not flexible or not a team player. Honestly I want to say, don’t dump work on one person if you’re not going to follow up, but I’m scared of being labeled sensitive. Argh… confused, right?

Accounting needs attention to detail, but communication in the office is so sloppy. What should I do? Set strict rules or ask for a clear document submission process? Or keep quiet, do the work, and wait for the day I quietly quit? I want to stay but I don’t want to be stressed all the time. Am I just overthinking T_T

Please share ways to handle this without making the atmosphere too tense. They’ll be back soon and I’m sure there’ll be more emails in the morning, so I’m going to go gather the files now. I’ll check the comments later.
