During a team call last week, the pressure to return to the office came up again. Someone on my team mentioned how we're expected to handle the same workload while juggling the demands of BHSI. It felt like the room went silent when they asked if anyone thought it was sustainable long-term. The tension was palpable. I could only think of how I'd barely managed my projects lately, feeling like I was always one deadline away from breaking. It's becoming clear that the demands just keep piling on without any real acknowledgment of the strain it's putting on us. I get that everyone wants to maintain high standards, but it's hard to do that when you're stretched thin. Last year, I could manage with a heavy workload, but now I'm not sure how much longer I can keep up. tl;dr: workload demands are overwhelming and unsustainable right now.
