A position on my team has been vacant for.... 17 months.
I'm doing the work of that position as unpaid overtime.
It has been noted in all staff meetings that all the vacant positions have helped with the budget situation, as obviously those positions are not being paid for.
The work, for the most part, is still being done, of course - not always but often through unpaid overtime work by remaining staff. A lovely way to help mitigate budget problems. If you're not a staff person.
But some stuff is not getting done, and other stuff is done slapdash, in a hurry, and some longer term projects get pushed aside, put on hold.
