It just gets better and better

Every minute of the day I feel happier that I have resigned! Out of 8 people, 5 have resigned in the last month. No replacements have been made or even thought about. We have 3 directors of the company - one is in Thailand, one is in the Whitsundays and 1 is in Perth (he was supposed to be here this week but went back to Perth early yesterday for a chiro appt). Our full time accountant/pay lady/finance person finishes tomorrow. They are replacing her with someone who is going to come in once a fortnight and who has no access to bank accounts and is not qualified to do BAS statements. What's the point?

As for the 3 remaining staff members - they are feeling very lonely and vulnerable. Nobody has spoken to them about their jobs or our replacements. How can a whole ad agency run with 1 account manager (instead of 3), an audio guy and a film editor? There will be no designer, no admin, no production manager, no general manager - which might not matter because there will be no clients as there will only be 1 account manager! There must be something else going on - there has to be something I don't know about. Surely. I am hearing rumours, but as we have no management team there is nobody to ask!

It is going to be a long 4 weeks.

It certainly sounds like you've made the absolutely right decision Em!!! As for the next four weeks, all you can do is do what you have to and can do!

Glad to hear you are back on track weight-loss-wise... we both had a lapse around the same few days- weekends away will do it to you! You had loads of fun, so its all worth it :) Cause in the scheme of things a few days off won't hurt, as long as we get back into!
