Scenario

When teams collectively enable unsustainable workloads

My department has been doing the work of two departments since the layoffs eight months ago and everyone is burned out but we keep saying yes to new projects because no one wants to be seen as not a team player. We have these weekly check-ins where we all say we're managing fine and then work until 10pm.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A group is participating in a shared fiction about their capacity while individually suffering the consequences.
