management will never believe the deadlines are unrealistic if you keep working nights and weekends to get the work done.

- sometimesokay 5y agoGo in on Monday, explain your situation and just say you won’t be able to get it done. It takes courage but a much needed courage. Our management believes we can do so much with so little people but what they don’t understand is we had people working late nights and weekends doing 5/60+ hours a week and not saying anything about it. So it gives them that sense of “this much work can be done from 9-5”.
