I've been in this situation before, with a team that was ridiculously over performing and management that just couldn't stop pouring the pressure on. It didn't end well with the company shooting itself in the foot by creating a turnover problem at a crucial moment. The loss of those engineers sunk a successful product. Even the CTO, who was one of the cofounders left.
In your case, I suggest you give them the best dog and pony show you can. Mention a few big successes that almost didn't get made, and show overall positivity. Be honest and tell them their expectations are unrealistic but demonstrate an interest in trying your hardest. Then I'd try until you find something else asap.
- davman 9y agoYeah it feels like there has just been crazy pressure from day 1. We've churned out what I would call an amazing amount of features for a team of 2 engineers + 1 designer, but nothing we produce ever seems to be enough. I'll try and find examples of other "near misses" and see what we can do.
