However, the guy has submitted his 3 months notice due to arguments he had with the boss. And he has like 2 weeks left before leaving the company. However, I've noticed that I have to take his responsibilities now that he's leaving the company. I wouldn't mind helping out, but I've noticed that my workload (this includes the projects I…
