And another one bites the dust

Another colleague has tendered her resignation today.

She found the stress was affecting her health and she was always feeling incompetent.

Sounds familiar. She'd been struggling for a while, and doesn't manage our boss' sense of humour the same way I do. We'd talked a few times about it, and she got an opportunity. She's taking on a supervisory position back where she came from, she'll be finished her Master's soon.

She's braver than I. I make damn good money, and I'm protected by the union. And I am rapidly becoming a senior hand on the floor. I can't walk on that, even though I desparately want to go back to school. All in good time.

With J gone, it's C & I who are the seniors on our team, A I'm still not so sure about, and L, well she's not getting it but they won't get rid of her with J leaving, we'll be too understaffed, and then her probation will be over and it will be too hard to get rid of her.

That's 4 people left on my team, 4 on K's team, and 6 on L's. We're supposed to be running with 6 or 7 on all three teams. We are seriously feeling the crunch.

And I'm back to not even wanting to try to go to sleep, cause it's not worth it anyway.

I've started the week tired, tired of fighting, tired of being hit and tired of not being heard. And that's just my work life.
