Falling Like Flies
Wow! They're falling like flies here on my project. The client had several of their upper-level folks leave within the last month. And, three consultants turned in their notice yesterday! Considering we have a team of 15 consultants, three is like 20% of our team in one day!!! Those who are staying are very jealous of those who are leaving. Which word is worse? Envy or jealous? We had a debate yesterday. Jealousy implies resentment. We decided that envious was a more appropriate word. What do you think?

I can relate to how you feel about being the one 'left behind' on your project. Thankfully my current project hasn't gotten like that. But who knows what will happen...

What's the deal with everyone leaving? Is the project that bad??? Envy could be evil too that drives you to jealousy....
