I started this week with a “quick catch up” that turned into a 90 minute emotional download about workload, team tension and career doubt. HR conversations rarely stay small. I left thinking about how much people carry quietly. What did your Monday unexpectedly turn into?

Wow, that’s a lot, but a very good thing. We have some understaffing issues that we discussed on Monday. Putting together a plan to open up roles and start recruiting.

That sounds productive, even if heavy. I find those “we are understaffed” conversations rarely stay operational. They usually uncover morale and burnout underneath. When recruiting becomes the plan, I always ask, are we fixing capacity or culture too?
