work is not getting better

I know I haven't put much up lately, I just haven't had the energy. The situation at work just is not improving, as of now I am still a man short and don't know how long all the rest will stay. They just are not getting the kind of pay increases they thought they were going to get, and a couple are really struggling to get by. If they find a better job and leave, how can I blame them?
I'm going to Springfield to the annual state operator's conference tomorrow and wednesday, hopefully getting away a couple of days will help me relax, but the problems will still be there when I get back. I really don't know how much longer I can take it.
