Until managers open reqs, why not put them to work?
Here's a suggest!
Either fill in for the ppl who left or open up some dang reqs.
!!?!?!?!?!?!!

If you have a good manager, thank them (in a meeting with others, if possible) and try to also let upper management know. Line managers take the biggest hit and are generally not acknowledged for the heavy workload...supporting everyone and everything with limited resources. If you don't think it's a hard job, try it sometime. There's a reason so many managers go back to being individual contributors.
Clearly, you're talking about some managers Director-level and above. Most line managers and senior managers take the brunt of the hit when people leave or are laid off --- still managing AND doing all the work that direct reports used to do. There is no one else to hand that work off to, so managers are burning out just as fast, if not faster.
It would be nice if we could get rid of some slack (politically connected and pulling down $$$) and spend that $$$ on workers.
Over 50, left of my own accord after the last major layoff as I saw no future in this company whatsoever. Was able to land a better job so don't sit back and wait. get out there and look because it's not going to get any better
I left because of my lazy manager who used every tool at his disposable to drive me to leave including harassment and intentionally trying to alienate me from my peers. He’s still there and I’m gone. My coworkers tell me he doesn’t work even an hour a day. But he gets paid those VP dollars to essentially do nothing.
Perhaps the management could foster an environment were experienced, enthusiastic people werent driven to leaving. It would be easier and more cost effective than trying to recruit.
