There are some things in this world that I finally learned...delegate and make sure that senior staff are not left in the dark. The last one I learned the hard way a number of years ago because I was afraid that if I let other people know what was going on, then I wouldn't have purpose in my job. That was complete BS! Once my senior co-worker was called to a meeting when I was out of town and was asked about the stuff I was working on and they could not answer. Yeah when I got back it was not pleasant. Now it is happening to me and I am not a happy camper. Unfortunately it looks like things may continue this way...lovely.
