I lead operations, 4 divisions, 2 of my leaders have been let go, company won’t backfill so I have had to absorb their duties. Now I have over a dozen direct reports, 40 individuals across those divisions. I asked for leader backfill from HR, Direct leader, c suite, and CEO, many times, all no, not yet. I broke down crying that I need help to HR, and was told “ You need to officially raise your hand”. I said, of course, I need help! Totally humiliating to be forced to cry uncle to get seen.

I've had this happen twice. Both times, I transitioned to a new role within the same company. Both times, they replaced me with two people. It sucks. I'm sorry you went through this and glad you've been seen

We’ve all had times where we have to do more, but it shouldn’t be to this extent. Says a lot about the culture. I went through a similar situation and ended up quitting.

How do you cope when your employer rapidly descends into chaos from the top down? Today is my 2yr anniversary with this company. In the past 6mos, they have repeatedly changed directions / goals, pushing out several supportive and productive managers in favor of a single chauvinist overlord who makes HR violations daily and does no actual work. HR denies every complaint made against him and he retaliates to the point of firing people. Very hostile. How do I survive until I find my next gig?

I have several job offers I am considering. My dilemma is when I put my resignation in for my current employer should I tell them why I’m leaving? (Toxic environment passive aggressive behavior from superiors
