Anonymous June 3,2023 at 3:33PM GMT Join the community I've tried making changes but SLT blocks me at every turn. One of my favorite reports announced she's leaving and it would take 3 employees to match everything she's doing. I completely understand why she's leaving, wish her the best but it puts me in a difficult spot. HR and SLT are not concerned about replacing her any time soon and I feel like the department is crumbling. As its lead I feel powerless to change things. I even suggested using some of the budget for support staff or interns and they refused. I feel like I'm being set up for failure. I've spoken directly with HR, SLT team, heads of the company and they won't approve any new hires but three people left before I started and they didn't replace them. It's not new hires it's filling the gaps of an already small team that the rest are ready to leave. Do I need to move on and will applying for positions so early after I started be considered a red flag? 2 likes 10 comments Share SHARE YOUR INSIGHT Join an authentic community that helps women support each other at work.

This company is picking up some significant savings every time an employee walks out the door. Goes straight to the bottom line and the owners pocket the profit. The fact that the work keeps getting done for less and less money is great for them but terrible for you. Is this company making any money? Can you find out? The absolute first thing I insist on these days before even looking at a new company is if they are turning a profit and can I see it? IF NOT, forget it. If you cannot find out if this company is making a profit, I would be looking elsewhere yesterday and chalk this up to a learned experience. 5 upvotes Reply Anonymous 06/04/23 at 4:39PM GMT (Edited) I’ve been in this situation and have taken different approaches. The one I recommend you start with is setting expectations with the SLT & others of what your team can and can not do with the resources (staff) you have. It’s time you (and they) prioritize the work. If you keep producing the same there’s not a big incentive for them to approve hiring anyone. You can take all of your departments work and expectations, show them what and why you do these things, then recommend what you think you should continue doing and what you think can be stopped. If they feel part of the decision you will be more likely to get their buy-in. You will be going to them with recommendations and partnership, not just demands. This helps a lot.I would try this approach before looking for another job. You always have that as an option, but why go that route first. 11 upvotes Reply See more comments BROWSE RECENT POSTS I interviewed with a company where I hit it off with the hiring manager.
