So I don't know what that was about but we had the meeting yesterday. I was furious that only a few people showed up. The people who really needed the help didn't show, of course. (though it amazes me that people think it is ok to blow the big boss off) The good news though is that it really wasn't a meeting to justify anything. The big boss said that he agreed we needed help and there is a plan in place and he just wanted to keep the lines of communication open.

A co worker asked what time line was and we got a lot of blah blah blah. But that is fine. Until I actually get some help... I am just going to do the bare mimimum.

It sounds, like this could potentially be great. They are saying we would all get 1/2 a person to do the work.. 1/2 a person is amazing. They will also be new hires so we won't have to deal with attitude from the people who are already there. If my job could be made better I could stay longer and that would really help my life but we will see.
