[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, the message I get from your post is that you are overly-concerned with your own status and whether or not the position will be yours when you come back.  It will.  In fact, your position is much more secure if it cannot remain vacant and needs someone filling that leadership role while you are gone.  If the responsibilities can just be absorbed by everyone else, that makes your position unnecessary.  [/quote]

OP here-- I have to disagree. Any job can be absorbed by a group of people. No one is so important that if they drop dead tomorrow, the department would not function. In every job I've had, we've had vacancies that were filled by others who stepped up (reluctantly or volunteered). Doesn't mean the job was done well or completed, but I don't know of any run of the mill positions that can't be solved by piece milling tasks.[/quote]

OP - If I were your supervisor and you said "that" to me, you won't be coming back to work for me. Not as a team lead anyway. You can disagree all you want but at the end of the day, it's not your call. A lot of times organizations allow details hoping the that person find a home elsewhere. It's pretty well known/accepted way to get rid of non-worker or problem makers. Hope you are not one of them. [/quote]
