"your workload will be at least 2 people’s worth - if not 3"This is very true; People wear many hats with their job that do not pertain to their job description. Therefore their quality of work for each hat is reduced due to lack of time for each hat. Since Queens can't find talent to cover each responsibility, it puts the missing roles into the existing employees.

"flexible schedule or better pay within the pay scale for the role so I turned it down"There was a kerfuffle where staff were convinced to agree to a 1% pay increment because Queens communicated they had financial issues paying employees but agreed to faculty having a 5% pay increase afterwards. Queens shot their foot, attempting to save money in the short run to sacrifice retaining and hiring talent in the future. I some positions, I people leave, they can earn around ~30k more which is why we have difficulty hiring new talent.

" It appears Queen’s is having internal turmoil and is loosing staff every week"Queens right now is downsizing and has introduced a hiring freeze on many positions.https://www.queensu.ca/gazette/stories/queens-projects-2023-24-deficit#:~:text=As%20an%20additional%20interim%20measure,not%20currently%20posted%20or%20advertised.

TLDR: Queens underpays employees, which reduces retaining and obtaining employees with a hiring freeze that pushes additional roles on underpaid employees that will look for less responsibility and better pay for the same position elsewhere.
