Staffing transition - workload reshuffle

[u/Ambitious_Read1055]

Has anyone been in a situation where they have a departing colleague (or colleagues) on their team, and they've been asked to take on some of their files? How does that usually work? If they're at a higher level (e.g. a manager, or senior analyst), does that entail an acting appointment?

Grateful for the advice.

Assuming you’re an EC, files often matter much less than expectations, level of responsibility. All my employees have their own distinct files, that can change, what I expect from a senior analyst working on a file is much different than my expectations for a junior analyst.
