Never imagined work could be so different. In the last 12 months our department staff has gone from 11 to 3.5 people. I form the 0.5 part of that as my other 0.5 has been recruited into our parent College.
MAE has been borrowing 2 people part time from other departments, and increased the work time of two students to help get by. Those of us remaining are intensely busy and not keeping up. Our admin office people use Remote Desktop so that they manage things at their own desk while sitting up front (reception). We are holding off any rehiring decisions till late March after some budget work is available from above.
It's very weird.
