Welcome to Fairygodboss!

We’re the largest online career community helping women achieve their career goals. Gain access to articles, jobs, events, and a supportive network of women and allies. Membership is free, always.

Is everyone new?

Is anyone else running into issues in the workplace where people all of a sudden seem unfamiliar with procedures that have been done for years...even seasoned people who did things perfectly well before and now seem confused? Or running into issues where people no longer respond to emails?

They have questions or needs and instead of stating them, they just stare at the email that says please ask if you have questions and just ignore it? What's happening? Is there some kind of cultural shift that I'm not aware of?

Why women love us:

Daily articles on career topics
Jobs at companies dedicated to hiring more women
Advice and support from an authentic community
Events that help you level up in your career
Free membership, always

Probably burnout and stress.

Have to agree it could be burnout or stress. But I don't see an overwhelming amount of it. Sounds like you are experiencing quite a bit of it on your team.

That's probably spot on. The department does have high turnover. Having to spend this much time with each person is really bugging me out though especially with a complex process. Feels like herding cats, hahah. I don't have any positional power so there's not much I can do for them other than be flexible, but that flexibility is making my job harder.
