ok ok ok I'm working too hard at the desk, but I must say the moral of the team has gone up and by showing my dedication to "our" success, they have also each stepped up to the plate and found in themselves a renewed sense of dedication to their job too. It has also been a way to show them what I want them to do and how it can work better. Never a permanent fix, but it was a good vaccination for some job blues for the team until new people are hired. I do believe that eliminating positions only invalidates the work of the team when it is for budget's sake.

Good advice Rosa, please keep them coming.

Absolutely: there are benefits to be gained when you work side by side with your crew, and you've pointed out some good ones. I congratulate you for making the very best out of the situation at hand. As the saying goes, when you have a bumper crop of lemons, make some lemonade.

Now imagine achieving the same things without the crisis intervention, but because you actually planned some time to do it: you scheduled yourself there without getting stuck there. Sounds to me like you're a manager who will do much more than just pick the low hanging fruit when you are well supported. Good luck with filling your vacancies.
