I agree about the job burnout, it happens alot in my job. I try to keep myself busy most of the time,but than taking a break or take a 5 minute break the monotony of what your doing. We als hae team meetings once a week to communicate to our staff.

I interviewed for months to get a position in administration working for a children services agency. The first month I am thier, my new boss warns me that people tend to not stick around very long due to low morale. I am thinking, "why are you telling me this now?" Sure enough, six months later, I hated the job due to feeling like I was on an island. Poor leadership, lack of teamwork, and no sense of direction. I got to the point where I could have cared less about the people I worked with and doing quality work. I ended up quitting after nine months and literally counted down the days till I left. Lesson learned, never give your best talents to an organization that could care less and is unwilling to provide a sense of leadership. You need plenty of indians, but also good chiefs as well.

Interesting and enlightening. I seem to be in the stovepipe as i've been told. However, what is funny is that I addressed this situation a while back and the solution? No meeting, just put out a report of what you have done. Yet, the other side does not include me on any communication until they slap their heads and say "oh, I don;t know what I am doing let me send him an email.
