Burnout is a real risk for Project Managers due to constant stress and heavy workloads.

Are short-term jobs on a PM’s résumé judged less harshly because of this?

Do HR or hiring managers tend to be more understanding when a PM leaves early due to poor fit or lack of support?

How many of you have left a job early after realizing it wasn’t the right fit?

I'm asking because I am considering leaving a position of 6 months soon but I'm concerned about what that might do to my reputation.

Thoughts: Managers and senior managers should intervene when project folks starts working more than 8 hours. It's sad that initially everybody talks about 8 hours work goal but employee forced or end up working more than 10 hours. Company is not asking you to work more than 8 hours, it's the pressure from peers and seniors and managers who do "a gentle request" to finish a task asap.
Also managers, Please teach new techies to hold the horses and not put there peer in pressure.

Anyone joined LtI recently with cloud engineer role?

Outside counsel has been prepping company witnesses for a trial in August. It is my subject area so I am supervising outside counsel. I did not, however, choose the counsel. He is doing a really awful job. Co counsel is better, but not great either. Higher ups love the firm… I do not want to micromanage, but I have genuine concerns about outside counsel’s ability to try this case. Trials are rare, and I just don’t think these guys have actually tried many cases. Cont. below…
