When aviation maintenance teams can't acknowledge their capacity limits

Our maintenance crew has been working overtime for six weeks straight because of staffing shortages and fleet issues, and everyone is burned out but we keep saying yes to every request because we don't want to be the ones who ground aircraft, and I can see the quality of our work starting to slip but no one wants to admit we're at our limit.
