Yeah, it is a crappy situation for sure.....and I think it's highly unfair of the organization to lean strictly on you to be the relay of messages without backing it up to the other team members. How hard is it to include your fellow workers in an email for heaven's sake? It sounds like such a simple thing that can be done and it might give a huge bang for the buck if everyone felt as though they were important enough to receive the emails as well as you.

How about setting everyone up on a rotating type of schedule? Each one is responsible for working a weekend event....giving the others time off to spend with family....I know it's difficult to plan when it's not an every weekend thing, but...it could really help everyone feel like they are contributing but still getting their personal time off as well.

Thanks, Sabby. These are great ideas. I'm hoping that we can draw up some sort of plan soon, to prevent this from happening again.

Meanwhile, as I wrote earlier, this whole thing has also definitely been a wake-up call for me regarding my control/workaholic/anxiety issues--a perfect example of what I like to call "good intentions gone bad" I just wish that reversing all of that "programming" wasn't so hard!
