Bummer

More people are leaving work for the grass on the other side.

Very soon, I'll be the longest-serving program officer in our whole organization. Institutional memory? It's me and one part time person, and of course our admin support staff, who have also been finding better opportunities. How is this level of human resource planning ineptitude possible? How have we not replaced the five people who've left in the past year? How do we expect to staff and backstop the 20 projects we're currently bidding on?

WTF?? It's not like we don't have project budgets to cover staff. These aren't cuts dictated by the university because of poor/contentious accounting of discretionary funds, or projects that haven't been renewed.

Seriously, it will be the malaria team only pretty soon here. That ain't right.
