Why is the burden of “not letting the team down” always placed on overworked employees, instead of on management to hire enough people?

@Strandjunker
Because in Merika we don't want our poor bosses to not be able to afford the big house or the yacht. That would be such a shame if that happened. So instead we must all work ourselves sick. -
@Strandjunker You could be like me and point out the "common point of failure," which is "management not managing people or projects effectively." But then the management gives you a poor review despite you scoring "beyond expectations" on all the line items of the review...
Well, that's too fucking familiar. Glad I'm retired.

@Strandjunker Because management is rarely willing to watch its own head roll.

@Strandjunker @crazyeddie That, too, sounds like the old Motorola under the Gavin family. Bingo. -

@Strandjunker It's framing. If sick employees call in sick, they are lazy. If management hires a bare minimum, it's lean staffing.
The former is a morale failure, the latter a virtue.
It's toxic management and leadership practise paired with deeply internalized self-deprecation.
Also the *only* way to enable constant growth on the shoulders of workers. -
