We fired our Director of Ops. They felt he was doing nothing. The position had transferred hands several times without any sustainability or systems put in place. I was told I’m now responsible for operations (on top of my role) but that it should only take 20% of my time. We have a small staff - just 6 people - but my new duties include general business ops, office management, HR, and IT/tech, and on top of that, everything is a mess. Does 20% FTE seem reasonable for a company of our size?

No - that's several full time jobs unless you have fewer than 20 employees.

One development person (we are non-profit), who helps a little bit with communications. One communications person. Our CEO who mostly does lobbying/hobnobbing. My supervisor who does policy and lobbying. The other person he manages who does data and strategy. Idk he told me in January he “barely has anything to do from Jan - Sept”.

Well…no. Aside from the question of what they’re doing with the 20% of your old role they’re replacing with these new responsibilities, are you qualified to be HR or IT? Or are they setting you up to fail, as it sounds like those previously in that role were?

Get out as fast as you can. It also sounds like the kind of small place that is one or two major donors away from imploding.
