When teams normalize unsustainable work patterns

Our entire engineering team has been working 60+ hour weeks for eight months and we all just keep saying 'this sprint will be different' but we're designing our roadmap like we have infinite capacity and no one wants to be the first to admit we can't sustain this. I can see people burning out but we're all complicit in pretending this is temporary.
