"Last year, my staff of nine people was brought down to five with one termination and three resignations. Because recruiting new staff in my current field can be difficult, we worked at almost 50% staffing for two months. To avoid burnout, our manager decided the best route was to have only two of our staff on shift at a time when we would normally have three to four on at a time. This was when work became the most stressful. Staying upbeat, positive, and focused on my duties helped me through each workday. I appreciated that we didn't need to double our work hours during this time, and my remaining team members navigated this period with great success."

"A couple of years ago, my current company purchased my previous employer, and there were many unknowns surrounding my job and responsibilities. When I saw my coworkers in distress, I tried to lead by example with a positive attitude. From the start, I asked our managers questions to learn as much as possible about the coming changes. I also listened to the concerns of my colleagues and tried to reassure them. In the end, the transition went well, and I have a positive and inquisitive attitude to thank for that. During the process, one close colleague left the company in fear of what would happen, and they regret that decision to this day."
