They recently hired a new person at my job who while she doesn't work directly for my department, has brought in a huge positive vibe to the agency.

She is a lot younger than a lot of us (new college grad), but goes out of her way to make it more of a "team" environment, is friendly and outgoing, and likes to recognize everyone's personal achievements and such. She also will go out of her way to lend a hand if needed in the other departments.

Anyways, she came to me almost in tears yesterday asking for advice. Apparently her department heads are really taking advantage of her.....making her come in early and sometimes stay close to 9PM almost every night. She's a newlywed and also has a baby at home.

She told me that she is probably going to put in her notice this week.

I just feel sad when this happens. She also tried talking to the person over her boss, when she got nowhere with her boss and apparently that got her boss all riled up.

This always seems to happen when they hire really nice people at almost every job I've been at.
