How can I handle an unreasonable supervisor? I’m on an understaffed project with excessive hours, and despite raising concerns, my supervisor thinks the solution is for us to work faster. We still have months left, so this isn’t a temporary issue. I’m hesitant to escalate to the MD due to potential backlash, but I need advice on how to proceed. My PL has given me some advice, and I’d appreciate any thoughts from the group.

From what I’ve read about the bench, can you add some lower cost resources to take on some of the load? If they are billing true hours, the project sounds like it’s unprofitable as is

What A2 said. I think I billed true hours once my first as a first year SC just to try and prove a point and I was “corrected” swiftly.

I’d professionally escalate

My SM knows the MD pretty well, so there may be backlash. My PL is aware so I’m not too concerned from a feedback perspective. I’ve also documented messages, timelines, etc.
