We keep losing people, but apparently nobody at the top thinks anything should change. The same deadlines, the same targets, the same expectations, just fewer people available to handle them. I'm tired of being told to make it work when management keeps making the situation worse. They need to explain how this is supposed to be sustainable.

@k5 this is the only answer.
I hate it, but you have to let things start to fail. Corporate Finance isn't going to stop cutting until the cuts have consequences.
Cover yourself, though. Document your concerns in writing to your leadership, and be specific. If you see any corners getting cut on compliance, report it to Compliance and save documentation. Email yourself copies, or take picture of your screen. Do not work overtime or otherwise sacrifice your personal life.
Corporate Finance is completely disconnected from the business, and is pretty transparent about not caring. They are the evil insurance people that justify the reputation of our industry. They're eager to disrupt care for the sickest members if it makes their spreadsheet look good. They're happy to lay good people off and burn out everyone left. They push repeatedly to violate contracts if it will save a few dollars. Until big monetary penalties start coming in and we lose a few more RFPs, they're going to keep forcing cuts every six months.
Don't burn yourself out trying to keep the ship afloat while Corporate keeps cutting holes in it.
And if you work in Corporate Finance, I hope you get cancer and then your health insurance kicks your oncologist out of network to avoid paying for your care. You deserve to experience what you put into the world.
This! I had a 1:1 with all metrics EXCEEDING expectations and yet my PL still found something to put on a
PIP. Who does this to people?????
My guess is that the more they squeeze us and don’t change the goalposts to match what is going on, then we don’t meet our goals, we don’t qualify for increases, and they get rid of us for cheaper labor. I’m quite cynical at this point and don’t feel like burning myself at both ends to keep corporate warm. I’ll plug along, do what I can to support my team, but that’s it.
