wow that's sounds like a clusterduck. I hope it remains a vaguely stable place for you despite everyone else's mess. Please vent all you need here.

Yep. It's gonna be interesting. I guess with the LT leaving before the new YP moves in screws over my organisation though so that's kinda funny. If they delay it, they'll miss out on a couple of weeks of placement subsidy, or if they have to pay workers they're not going to make very much profit from his placement

Yeah, every organisation I interact with seems to have all the same issues - everyone is stretched too thin. Not that community care was ever not stretched. Hopefully you can sit back and watch it play out.

It's absolutely ridiculous. Most people don't last 2 years. Part of that's no doubt due to the type of work they're doing, but I'd say burnout is probably the main cause
