T. Rowe Price - Anyone else seeing increased workload without clear reason?

Hey everyone, I'm in the middle office at T. Rowe, specifically on the client reporting side. Over the past six months, my team's workload has ballooned. We're getting more requests, more complex reporting, and the deadlines are tighter than ever. But here's the kicker: we haven't been told *why*. Is it new business? A push for more institutional clients? Or is it a sign of people leaving and their work getting absorbed? Management just says "focus on delivery" and "exceeding expectations." It's getting to the point where burnout feels inevitable. We're putting in extra hours just to tread water. Anyone else in operations or support functions experiencing something similar? Feels like we're being squeezed, and I'm starting to wonder if this is a precursor to something bigger, or if they're just trying to wring every last drop out of us before making cuts. Curious to hear if others are feeling this.

This sounds incredibly frustrating. It's tough to stay motivated and productive when you're drowning in work without understanding the underlying causes or seeing any corresponding support. Have you considered trying to get more specifics from your manager, perhaps by framing it around efficiency and resource planning? Knowing the 'why' can sometimes make the 'what' feel more manageable, even if the workload itself doesn't decrease immediately.

I'm not in your exact department, but I've definitely felt a similar pressure build over the last year. It feels like there's just *more* coming through the pipes without any additional headcount or clear strategic shifts being communicated. The 'exceeding expectations' mantra can only carry you so far before burnout kicks in. Hopefully, management will eventually provide some transparency so teams can better strategize and prioritize.
