Hey all. My project is going well, but we had two new resources join and we clearly don't have budget. Assuming no one will be rolled off, are there situations where Directors squeeze timelines?

That would be very rare. Are you sure you are short on budget? Three possibilities: 1) you're tight on expenses but not hours, these often come out of different financial buckets. 2) the partner signed an add-on to the SOW for the new resources. 3) the resources are not fully billed due to being new. Regardless, you should ask the partner about it. It shows you're thinking big picture about the project and not just doing your work with your head in the sand,

I’m new to this startup and was leading a cross functional project involving several other product teams with dependencies. When we got near the end with E2E testing, I realized that none of the product teams really do QA: no test scripts, not logs of dev unit testing, no documentation of testing cycles – there devs asked “what do we do about edge cases?” I raised this to my boss (since I don’t manage those other teams) and he said I’m creating unnecessary stress for the teams. Is he right?
