Does anyone have ideas on how to navigate a smaller team environment when everyone’s roles seem to be stretched (hiring for additional people has been taking a while, not sure why). The stress causes some tension and that’s probably not great for the overall morale of the company long-term. I try to ignore and just stay focused on what I need to do yet sometimes proves challenging. I worry it might affect my professional/career growth. Thoughts on this would be helpful, thanks!

Thanks so much! I would think it would be faster since positions available seem to outweigh the people looking but maybe not in our industry ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

How many people are on your team Nd what are there roles?

We are short staffed too… one left, one on maternity leave and one calling in a lot because of COVID and her kids… I’m doing everything I can to hire but it’s tough

I’ve been interviewing for new positions to leave PA. But in my current position, we’ve been adding quite a few new projects (and our team is partner, two staff, and me) that will probably start over the next couple of months. I don’t think my boss has any idea I’m looking to leave - anything I should do to not feel guilty about potentially leaving them short staffed with a ton of work? Is this something you think about when looking to leave?
