Rant: Morale is in the toilet. They're working us to death!

I'm so burned out. This 'do more with less' mentality is killing us. We're constantly understaffed and expected to pick up the slack. My manager keeps piling on the projects, and then acts surprised when deadlines slip. Honestly, I'm looking for a way out. The stress is affecting my health. I've been with the bank for 10 years, and I used to love it here. Now it feels like a toxic grind. They preach about work-life balance, but it's all BS. Anyone else feel like they're drowning? Thinking about taking a mental health leave... but afraid it will just make me a target for layoffs.

I hear you. The pressure to perform with fewer resources is insane right now. I've seen so many good people leave in the past year. Management seems completely out of touch with the reality on the ground. Start documenting everything, especially unreasonable requests and any instances where you're asked to do things outside your job description. It might help if things go south, and it's useful for negotiating your exit.

Ten years is a good run, but it sounds like it's time to prioritize yourself. Start quietly updating your resume and networking. See what else is out there. Honestly, every big company has these cycles. They squeeze as much as they can until enough people leave, then they scramble to hire again. Don't wait around for them to value you; proactively seek out a better environment.
