My whole team has been running on empty all year. We’ve lost too many people, including two critical roles, yet the workload has actually increased. It has been impossible to meet the expectations of a manager who has never even tried to truly manage. No support, no adjustments, no effort to play to the strengths we still have as a team, no redistribution of work to help us through the worst tasks. Working here has never been easy, but this year has been brutal.

@fk Not true. Just because some of them desk share doesn’t mean they aren’t working at night and on weekends on top of business hours.
the columbus office is working about 25 hours a week max, ask them to pitch in
and guess what, 2% raise only
My entire department got the he-l outta Dodge city before everything was Sapienced. Smart move. Doing more with less seems the 2026 rule of thumb. If less means headcount of zero. Do your job and get a new one
no effort to play to the strengths we still have as a team -- this is a key theme. I was once told a particular person would be a great fit but we didn't have that exact job description. Stop limiting yourself!
@OP unfortunately, the same story over and over. Sadly, the leadership doesn’t even try to keep the valuable employees. I finally gave up after years of begging for help. I don’t see help coming any time soon!
