The pace of the workload feels like it picked up to frenetic levels. We aren’t getting room to process or breathe bc business must go on. Is this just a pharma agency thing or is everyone feeling it?

Professional services are all probably squeezing out all the billables they can from existing projects + trying to overperform so the account feels compelled to extend the contract. Difficult times but its going to be an existential race for some.

Didn’t say anything was “your fault,” simply pointing out that not everyone at an analyst level has the luxury of “setting limits” when they are being assigned work by someone (at your level) and expected to complete it within a certain amount of time. You seem like a reasonable manager, which is great for your team. It’s just not always the case.
