No idea if it's only my area, but Social Services are a total mess here.

Seems like there are now too many different departments all screaming that their needs are greater than the others, experienced staff are leaving (and not being replaced), and every week there are new (confusing) guidelines released on what you can and can't do and say.

oh, money to work with? . . what money?

Wife quit a few months ago, now works elsewhere with more hours for 2/3 of the salary she was getting . . and is happy as a pig in . . .
