Scenario

When startup teams can't discuss unsustainable work pace

Our startup team has been working 70-hour weeks for eight months and we all act like this is temporary but none of us has actually said when it will end or what would need to change for us to work normal hours. We're all burning out but we keep pushing each other to maintain this pace because no one wants to be the first to admit they can't sustain it.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A group is collectively maintaining an unsustainable pace because no one will name the shared exhaustion.
