I don’t know a single person here who isn’t overworked to the point of physical and mental exhaustion. But why would anything change? They keep piling on work while refusing to backfill the waves of people who’ve left or been pushed out because it keeps working. That's the sad truth.

You get the workload you deserve.
Ha ha, was grinded into the ground a year ago. Now I've given up. I just don't care at all.
The op and also @a6+1jt1cp5vz are spot on. Within our LOB, the higher ups gaslight front line managers as if it’s their fault everyone is leaving, meanwhile the atrocious company culture is hard for us to hide and teams are falling apart at the seams through people being forced out or simply leaving on their own. I’m concerned with why no one has looked over the massive turnover, low average tenure and figuring out a plan to stop this. Instead our LOB decides that bringing accountability in a time of desperation and devastation to staffing, is the right play. We can all say find a better job, but what about the tens of thousands of families this company is feeding, those are jobs, why can’t we make it better.
I hope you find a new job and a better place for yourself.
Agreed! In my small department we have lost half of the people we used to have (not from layoffs, they left because they couldn’t stand this awful place anymore) and we are not allowed to backfill them. We are working 60 hour weeks to get the work done and no one cares.
