Exboss is leaving, and the one other staff member that has decent knowhow is retiring in February.
I'm getting desperate. These two were the only genuinelly good-at-this people that we had. Behind them we have like, 3, maybe 4 (tops) people who are competent (but dont pull anywhere near the weight the forementioned seniors did).
The rest are either total noobs (about... 2. Well meaning but inexperienced) or total morons (I count at least seven people that in a perfect world shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a hematological patient).
I'm getting desperate. I still have 20 months left at this place, and it's falling to pieces.
Oh and by the way, my former boss was very good at bringing clinical trials to the department, which meant that not only patients could benefit from state of the art treatments, but that he saved the department around 2-3 million € a year in free drugs. As soon as he leaves this is going to bust. I dread to think what will happen when we suddenly have a department-shaped 2 million € hole. Likely there will be sackings. Likely people who formerly could opt for lifesaving treatments might start to have them denied out of economical concerns.
I'd not been this depressed since the bad years at uni. Everything is falling to pieces around me. I'm in a personally comfortable (and surprisingly influential) situation, but TBH at this point it feels like having a business class ship ticket in the goddamn Titanic. Sure, you've more personal space and are more comfortable than someone at tourist class, but you simply know that the trip is going to end in a disaste.r
