When high-performing teams become trapped in unsustainable pace

Our product team has been in crunch mode for eight months and we all keep saying we'll slow down after this next release but we never do and I can see everyone getting burned out including myself. The weird part is we're hitting our targets and leadership keeps praising us but I think we're all afraid that if we speak up about the pace we'll look like we can't handle it.

What we've seen
