Nobody would work that hard with that much responsibility for money!

Congrats on the unscheduled vacation! Think about this..... How many SAR's, Flu in all its variations, flesh eating bacteria, MRSA, and spectrums of other communicable things that you did not get due to your good practices. (I would never bring this line of thinking up to those who make decisions). Follow those good practices and have your family over, or not.

The workforce is slim pickings in all areas of employment. Employers cannot hire trained help and expect them to do the work of three people. This is why they are quitting. Workers have to feel a sense of pride in their work and they can not achieve this with multiple responsibilities in different areas. No amount of money or praise will stop the burnout. The cure is enough willing support staff to pick up the slack. This does not happen because it is more economical to work what you have into the ground.
