In the same position over the last year our engineering org has been cut to a 1/3rd of what it was. Spent nearly the entire year just cleaning up messes left from teams that were laid off promptly. Wishing each time I was in the layoff round.
I just tell my manager I can only do the work of 1 person. I'm not shouldering more work than I can handle and getting burned out anymore. I'm not here to cover up for a staffing problem. Those problems should bubble up, not down.
