Every time I walk into my apartment complex office, there's someone new working there. How am I supposed to feel confident about what they say? For all I know they are a temp. I was there today to ask if I can stay a few days over after my lease expires. She said oh yeah, sure, no problem, as long as you tell us what exact day you're moving out. What if I think everything is all set to go, and then come my expiration of lease they tell me to get out??
Cover your butt and get it in writing. Even a hand written note stating your intentions will work, as long as you and the person behind the desk sign it and date it. Temp or not, the person behind the desk is representing the apt. complex and a written agreement will save you if it gets nasty.

Cover your butt and write a memo of understanding regarding your conversation, no need to get the other party to sign it, mail it certified to the legal address on your lease for the property. That serves as documentation should you need it later.
Yeah, I would get the email of the manager and anyone else in the office and send a quick summary of the conversation. Also add for them to please let you know if there are any other notices or forms that you need to have filled out once you know the exact date and any deadlines for advance notice that are needed. And as mentioned, read the lease sections dealing with that.
Get it in writing from the highest-ranking staff member.
As far as employee turnover, property management just isn't for everyone. It seems nice until you get a couple irate tenants or prospective tenants jumping down your throat. Or the first time you experience evicting someone, that runs some off. They don't have the stomach for it. I don't blame them. It just isn't for everyone. And a lot of employees just turn out to be a bad fit.
