Work at a great company. Great people. Good salary. I actually like my job, though lately everyone on our team feels like we are drowning. Our managers have piled so many projects on us (we are in healthcare). Then, our manager tells us day to day support for customers is more important. But then we get hammered on for projects not getting done. We have 40 major projects lined up for the year with only 10 people to do them by the end of the year. Insanity man! We are cutting corners all over the place and our dept looks bad in the rest of the company. We are stretched so thin and sinking fast. If we had 3-5 extra staff, then it would all work.
Our manager realizes that the day to day stuff eats into project time. But then he gets hammered from above for projects late. Our group handles 80% of all day-to-day support requests for our who company. So we are not slacking. I know some of you will say quit. Not that easy and not an immediate option. Our team will talk to our manager, but need a few ideas to get the point across.
Suggestions on how to make this better? I know this is VERY open ended question.
