Tomorrow I am having a meeting with 3 managers above me (I manage my own team). Using data and facts I’ll outline how crushed my team is, including me. I’m advocating for more support and headcount. I’m the only mom to an infant and the last 6 months has crushed me. I can’t give anymore. If this meeting doesn’t go well, how should I quit?

Give notice? Say this is my last day? Should I wait till Monday? I need support. My brain can’t take anymore and my mental health is suffering.

I would not quit in the moment. If it does not go well I would say “thank you for listening. This is not the response I expected or hoped for. I’d like to take some time to process and come back to you.”

Gives you and then time to decide what next, and may spook them into action.

This is really good advice. It pains me to leave my team, who are also struggling, but they know how much I care for them and this is my big, last ditch effort to save it. I am aware they are unhappy and it sucks I can’t help.

For the record, I have another work opportunity lined up bec this has been coming for a long time. How management reacts will be everything.

VP 1 gave good advice. I’d also recommend position the situation as you are advocating for your team. Let them know that you’re raising the red flag, this is it sustainable for the team and that client work is starting to suffer. Express that you’re worried your team members will quit.... which will also negatively effect the client work.

Good luck, this is a tough situation and a tough time!

How many billable hours per week is considered at capacity? I’m getting pushback on boundaries I’m setting about additional matters and marketing work from my firm when I’ve been billing 60-75 hours per week for the last 6 weeks, and I’m still behind on my work. I feel like it’s reasonable to not kill myself further to fit in more/turn things around faster at this point, but am I being unreasonable? I expect my workload to remain at this level through the end of the year at least.

During the beginning of covid I drank every day and in a great deal. January it was a "dry" month which was hard the first week but overall great.

March 2021 realized I'm clinically depressed.
