Singdaw, I'm on a team of 14. We had been 17 at the beginning of the year.
First, we lost a coworker to cancer. Her position will not be filled.
Then we lost a contractor who wasn't working out when the wfh conditions came into place.
We lost our director in early summer, and her replacement was just hired from our team. I don't know that her position will be replaced. Most of her work has been split among a coworker and me.
We lost a writer to another department in the summer, and she's only now being replaced. She's being replaced by a contractor who has been with our team for maybe 18 months. Will we hire another contractor? Who knows.
Then today, one of my people was promoted to another department. I want to backfill as soon as possible, but I don't know how possible that is.
Cue Ol' Blue Eyes. "That's life ..."
