They don't seem like the type that gets offended easily, and seem to encourage some feedback. That's rare. However, I haven't been with the team long enough to be sure if it's genuine or just posturing. I don't want to ruin the relationship, but we've lost a couple of people over the past six months, and the workload is so uneven that many of us have to do overtime, even though that could have been avoided with better management.

There’s so much irony in the question if you’ve already figured that part out.
I wouldn’t recommend doing lesser quality work so it gets shifted off you, that is a terrible idea if you desire long term employment or a good relationship with your manager. I also wouldn’t bring up distribution since you’re new.
Focus on YOUR workload. And word in such that you’re task saturated to the point of requiring overtime but that is a line item expense that could be reduced if there are others with more availability on the team. If you start pointing out “Bob ain’t doing isht, he can do this” and you don’t have that rapport built up yet you’ll just be creating friction.
Hilarious post -- yeah, talk to the boss at your own peril.
You want more or less? I ve realized management doesn't care unless you are their friend...I d recommend just doing your work slower or with less quality to have manager assign it to someone else...If you want more work feel free to let them know....
If the manager is tracking workload, it should be pretty easy to bring up in a one on one. I wouldn’t do it in a group setting because people might be defensive.
