Our paralegal team has been drowning in discovery requests for six months and everyone is working late every night but we never talk about what's sustainable or what we need from the attorneys and I think we're all just hoping someone else will speak up first. We're burning out individually but somehow we can't have a conversation about it as a group even though we all see what's happening.
More people experience this than they realize.
