In a few weeks, my department's building official is being eliminated due to budget concerns and "replaced" by an administrative assistant. Clearly, trouble ahead! Suggestions for this plan examiner on how to prepare for the transition?
I would recommend quietly doing the best you can. Don't overextend yourself, don't let the city pile too much work on you. A hard working individual will be tempted to "step-up" and take on more than they can handle in order to carry the extra load. This will lead to burn-out. On the flip side it's common for people to kick and scream about all of the problems, and really that just makes things worse. Find the balance where you can keep doing a good job without burning out, and quietly ride out the storm. And yes, polish up your resume and keep your eyes open for another opportunity.In a few weeks, my department's building official is being eliminated due to budget concerns and "replaced" by an administrative assistant.
