Scenario

When teams habitually overcommit rather than set boundaries

My team keeps saying yes to requests from other departments even when we're already overcommitted, and then we work late and stress out to deliver everything instead of having honest conversations about capacity and priorities. I'm the senior engineer but I'm doing it too, and I can see how we're training the rest of the organization to expect us to absorb unlimited work without pushback.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A group is avoiding difficult conversations about limits by consistently choosing personal stress over organizational honesty.
