When teams can't admit they're overwhelmed after layoffs

My department went through layoffs six months ago and we've all been working at an unsustainable pace ever since but nobody wants to be the one to say we can't handle the workload because we're the survivors and we feel guilty. We're all burning out but we're also all pretending we're fine.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A group is collectively maintaining a fiction of resilience that prevents them from addressing their actual capacity constraints.
