Hi,

When school started, we got a new direct boss (she is not new to the organization ---- new to the position).

She seems to be doing ok.
Some of our administrative responsibilities were given to her by higher ups.
Most of the rest, we handed to her /dumped on her.
We are done carrying the load for the others.
Also --- we are going to let her finish carrying out the organization fight. We achieved about 80% of what we needed for our group.
The new boss is going to have to pick up the charge now while we step back.

I still have one formal role working with the new boss.
Since last Friday, work buddy is more free of administrative duties than he has been for about a year.

Being free of the load and of him feels so awful.
I'm lost without the constant contact.
We both suffered under the stress.
I don't know how to get to a normal work relationship because I never had one with him.
We were in crisis mode for about 11 months.
. . . . Lost.
