    It's a small business, the owners, 3 managers (the owners' daughter, son-in-law & myself) and 10 staff. They're already running with too few staff, and one too few managers: their own fault, granted.
    I don't really want to drop them in it, losing another manager at only a week's notice so having no time to even recruit another, let alone train them.
    But, unfortunately, as with the original posts, unless I am offered a temporary job I just don't think it's a risk I can afford to take. Honestly I don't want to think they would do it, as they're really nice people; but I know they have done it, and even when it really left them up the proverbial creek.



    4 managers over 10 staff . thats way too many in any company as that ratio is just beyond daft!

    How else would you suggest covering 13 hours a day, 7 days a week?
