8 month ago an underwriter left our department to work in another unit (I work in insurance). My underwriter was given the departed's old territory.
7 months 28 days ago that underwrter decided she didn't like it there and wanted to come back. She did but didn't get her territory back.
7 months ago my underwriter took a position in another department. No replacement has been hired. 2 people in my department and 1 person in another department are trying to handle his work and I'm left to remember where everything is and who's handling what.
1.5 month ago my manager announces that she doesn't want to be our boss anymore and will step down to fill my underwriter's vacant position.
3 weeks ago my manager/underwriter was suppose to take charge of the territory but told everyone helping out to continue what they're doing as she's got "manager" stuff she's still got to finish. Hasn't done a lick of work in her new position.
1 hour ago I just got word that my manager/underwriter quit. She got a job at a competitor so she won't be in any more.
Now I'm back to square one with no underwriter. . . but now I don't have a manager as well. And to top it off another assistant took a 2 hour and 45 minute lunch yesterday because all underwriters and above are at our off site conference so there's no one to catch her to get her in trouble.
All this emotional upheaval and stress has extinguished my creativity.
