[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a mid-level manager, putting in only what is required is probably the only way that any kind of lack of resources is going to get addressed.  I’m surrounded by stressed out people, and it just isn’t healthy or sustainable. And when upper-level management thinks nothing of taking weeks to get back to us, why should I strive for better and better?  [/quote]

Absolutely could not agree more.

My DH was at this last company for 10 years. 60% of his team left during the pandemic and DH absorbed ALL of that extra work. For 14 months straight he worked 7am-6pm, came home for dinner and bedtime with the kids and then worked 8pm-2am. Plus most Saturday and Sunday nights. He fell into a horrible depression, was diagnosed with stress reactive disorder, had the be medicated. I finally said either you leave the job or I'm leaving you. He's been at his new job 6 months and anytime he goes to work after hours I remind him of my ultimatum. I wouldn't actually leave him, but he turned into an absolute shell of a human with ZERO recognition from the company, no raise, nothing. They had to see the timestamps on his emails every day- midnight, 1am, 2am, 6:45am. When he put in his two weeks. the VP literally said "dammit DH now I have to hire 3 or 4 people to replace your output".[/quote]

PP nailed it. My DH gave me the same ultimatum. I just broke at one point and the threat was needed to realize something was wrong. [/quote]
