Anyone else feeling the pressure to do more with less?

Hey everyone, posting anonymously here. I've been with Cummins for a few years now, and lately, it feels like the expectations are constantly increasing without a corresponding increase in resources or headcount. My team, for example, has lost a couple of people over the last year, and while management assures us 'efficiency' is the goal, it's starting to feel like we're just expected to absorb those responsibilities. I'm finding myself pulled in multiple directions constantly, and frankly, it's leading to burnout. Is this a company-wide thing, or is it just my department? Anyone else in a similar boat, having to juggle tasks that were previously handled by others? Curious to hear if others are experiencing this push to 'wear multiple hats' more often and how you're coping.

Yeah, I hear you. It's definitely a common sentiment lately. Feels like we're always being asked to be more agile and innovative, which is great in theory, but when you're already stretched thin, it's tough to find the bandwidth. The 'do more with less' mantra can really grind you down if it's not balanced with realistic expectations and support. Hoping things ease up soon.

Absolutely. I'm in a similar boat. It feels like the goalposts keep moving, and we're expected to hit them with fewer tools than before. It's disheartening when you see the workload piling up and the team shrinking. Constant overtime and feeling like you're always playing catch-up isn't sustainable in the long run. Definitely looking forward to any updates that might offer some relief.
