Worker laments the firing of their 'crucial' supervisor who was leading their already understaffed team: 'I might just quit soon'

Trying to keep up with an increasing workload on an understaffed team is a lot like trying to drive a car that only has three wheels. It's difficult to keep things moving forward without veering off course; things operate extremely inefficiently, and there's probably a lot of noise and scraping going on.

Of course, managing these situations is no easy task—not impossible for a talented manager, but only through a great deal of effort. For this reason, managers who manage to protect their already overworked teams from an organization that's trying to increase their workload earn themselves a great deal of respect from their subordinates. Still, despite being high-performing managers, these team leaders can often draw the ire of upper management, who regard the respect the manager has earned from their team as a liability. So, despite the fact that they're the ones keeping everything from falling to pieces, it's not uncommon to see these managers getting pushed out of organizations by these misguided upper managers.
