Do any of you have any ideas on how to handle the additional work load since one of our employees is retiring and has been in that position for 12 years.
There is one other employee besides myself.
Thank you

The two employees and supervisors must sit at a table and distribute the extra work as well as discuss how the extra duties will impact time management. If you are looking for a raise, good luck. There are a lot of people looking for work these days!

I agree and this is what we have done in the past. Everyone needs to be aware and prioritize requests. If the group is on-board, it should be smooth. Once you have the list, review it and make sure each person chooses wisely. If one person is better at a task than the other, then they should assume responsibility for that task. Good luck.

I agree with the previous comments. You need to be proactive along with your co-worker and find out what responsibilities the retiree handles. Then discuss with management how they would like you to split up the responsbilities between the two of you and what allowances they are willing to make for the added responsibilities.

I agree with Kelly D - restructuring your workload with your co-worker is the best way to handle this change. This should be recognized by your supervisor and give you a bit of 'job security' at this time. hoping things work for you!

I would recommend making a check list of all the responsibilities the retireee holds. Then, schedule a meeting with your supervisor and the other employee to discuss the distribution of that work list.
This way, your boss see's you as having taken the proactive step of finding out what has to be taken on, and your co-worker gets to have an active role in the decision making as you all discuss who should take on what. At the end of the meeting, you boss can say that he was able to handle that issue in a positive manner.
Taking this step now, when your budget is cut, will benefit you in the long run. If the budget stays tight, you show that you can still do a fantastic job, even in a restrictive setting. If the budget has the opportunity to expand again, upper management might see you in a much brighter light.
Who knows...maybe a promotion is waiting for you in the near future!
