Have just been promoted at work two weeks ago. We are 7 on the team and we have a goal for every two weeks. I thought my team was a very competent one as they went through a gruesome scrutinizing of the personnel people and intensive training for the job. But, within 2 weeks of work, almost half got sick, and the remaining people performed at a mediocre level.
At the end, I have to augment for all their backlogs and as proof, I am working on a weekend, all alone here in the office, even the janitors were all on their rest days. I know the first time is always hard, but the work load was reasonably light, we were all on flexi-time and they have been trained. Makes me wonder if this will be the situation for all time. I can’t do things alone, but by the looks of it, I have to do things by myself. Don’t know who to trust for fear that they might just fail me.
