Been with the same company/group of attorneys for 15+ years. I work out of the 'satellite' office in downtown DC. Main office is in Friendship Heights/Chevy Chase. I had worked with the same receptionist/scheduler/opener since 2004, and she left just before the pandemic hit to work with DC Gvmt. Can't blame her. Meanwhile, the company cycled through 4 other employees before settling on the 5th that's here for now. Every time it's starting from scratch as far as how things work in the office. So many recipes lost, I tell you..
Meanwhile, they hired two other attorneys to work in the downtown office. Ostensibly this is so they don't have to come down here (most of the attorneys live in Bethesda, so they are minutes from the main office, and coming downtown has always been a scheduling dance). While the new attorneys know something, I don't think they quite get how things actually work here, and there's a good deal of either they will figure it out or I'll show them the way, which is a bit above my paygrade.
In short, everybody I started with or worked with is either at another office or left the company. I rather work at home, but there's some things I need to physically put my hands on (and have to, since there's a new crew down at my office that I can't quite trust to pull stuff for me). Coming to DC just feels like work, as there's nobody really to talk with past small talk.
I feel very much like Ron Swanson when April left the Parks Department. <-- Dave Thomas knows what's up...
