Just had half of the team put in their two weeks in the past month with no indication of any more resources being brought on. All of their work has been reassigned to me with the instruction to “use our team in India more”. It’s August and I’m already burnt out.

Literally same

We just had three more people quit. The workload has grown immensely, but we will be one person short of staffing levels in 2019.

Wow. If I didn't know any better this is someone from my own team posting this.
