10 but it's honestly too much

I support 14. I think anything over 9 is too much but also depends how much the partners and MDs use you. I wish we only supported 4-8 partners and MDs so we can really focus our attention on them.

I’m beyond irritated by one of my coworkers. Just so disorganized, doesn’t show up to meetings, doesn’t reply to emails, constantly have to chase him, miss deadlines because of him.

I’ve tried talking to him, I’ve tried escalating, putting reminders on his calendar. Nothing works. What are my options? Suck it up or leave? This is unnecessary stress for me
