Katherine,
If this kind of situation is allowed to extend beyond a reasonable length of time, it begins to impact overall morale as well. Some turnover is a good thing as it has the potential to bring in new blood and new ideas. It is when that turnover becomes excessive that the problems you mention begin to impact the whole institution. Hopefully, management will recognize the signs of this becoming a problem and will put in motion practices to address the issue. If not, employees need to feel comfortable speaking up with ideas for resolving the problem.
