When your emergency department team starts turning on each other during staffing shortages

Our ER team has been running on skeleton crews for eight months and we've all started making comments about 'certain people' calling in sick too much but no one will address it directly and I can feel us turning into the kind of department where people don't have each other's backs. The stress is making us suspicious of each other instead of supporting each other.

What we've seen
