Four capable team members with roughly a century of experience between them have been let go, and our leadership team has been cut in half too. The rest of us were already working 50+ hour weeks, so I don't know how we're supposed to manage this going forward.

@d2 it's a real game..there's also "Don't break the ice" and yes Jenga. Same idea
@ar Not without a trained engineer monitoring the output.
This is how you get tech debt and slop.
@ab you're thinking of Jenga?
All of what work? You place too much importance on what you do, much of which does not matter. Your TPS reports don’t matter.
Have you ever stepped back and evaluated if you're being inefficient? AI can automate most "work" and if you reply back that it can't then you clearly don't know what you're talking about
No one?
Have you ever played the children's game KerPlunk?
They'll keep removing resources until something breaks
stop working 50 hours a week. you will never get that time back and no one cares. put in your 40 and go home leave the sh-t at the door.
@OP I too would like to understand how those that remain are expected to keep up with the current work required.
I knew alot of people working "50 hour weeks" on unimportant projects that didn't drive revenue or cut costs.
Those are the only things that are important now.
CONTRACTORS, havent you noticed? Every team has them.
They usually expect the rest of the team to absorb it, even when there’s no realistc way to do that. all that experiance walking out the door is a huge loss, and 50-hour weeks can’t go on eventualy.
hope leadership has an actual plan, because do more with less gets old real fast.
good luck!
