More of them and not many of us – 10/14/25

I hope everyone is doing okay. I am at a loss and it’s not just me. I’m fed up and disappointed ☹️ with the many directions I’m being pulled. This department should be gutted and transformed. Others are now complaining to me of the non-response and not made progress in their tasks and need help or advice on how I get things done. ✅ They are not able to make progress on their tasks in weeks. There’s nothing I can do.

It’s a fast-paced environment that I keep telling my boss it’s overwhelming and keep being ignored as long as the tasks are getting completed. I need help, I have to help a program B because the young lady “D” as I’ll call here has taken over and we’re now going to have to do cross-training on program reports. I have no clue what we should do and I’m having to secure training for both of us. I’m also filling a vacant position, no time and more work. It falls all on me. The person that left the position vacant left and I have to catch up from one month ago with no response from her, 5 reports due by Wednesday. Is there another job I can go to and be happy with not having to chase people to get one thing done. There’s way too many set backs and struggles for the past 8 months. I want to change my status to “open to hire” on my LinkedIn account again.

I’m sad 😞 because one of the top performers left quit. Her teamed 🔥 burned her out of her position by giving her all the work just because she was the newbie. You have to be cruel to do so. She was drained, knew it wasn’t going to change so she changed it, had enough. I agree, no one helped but only dumped work on her. I definitely won’t get any and my project is $35M with a lot of active sub projects. My boss uses the work “we” and I laugh 🤭. I ask him who’s “we”?

There are many layoffs and jobs are scarce I’m having to hang on and see when the job market gets better. All the Best!
