      Or burned out because they get pulled into every project that’s gone off the rails.

        Yup, before I went into tech I worked at an architecture firm and we had this one absolutely amazing PM from Australia who was smart, a clear communicator, and so much more on top of his shit then any other PM, and he burnt out and quit and moved back to Australia after like 2 years because they just kept throwing him into the absolute biggest messes since he was clearly the best at cleaning them up.

        He’s also the one who I got drunk at an airport bar with and just repeatedly urged me to leave the company and go somewhere well run … there were pretty clear signs he wasn’t enjoying his assignments.

          Your failure to provide a reliable source for your claims is not my problem.

          If you cannot provide a reliable source of your claims, your claim will be dismissed.

          Put your foot down, establish boundaries, and take a well deserved vacation with 0 communication to work while on it. Otherwise, I would start looking somewhere else. Your health is more important.

          Edit: Also, hit them a few times with your Wabbajack for me.

          I’m hoping you’re not just an employee of that consultancy, but a contractor instead, and that you charge a good hourly rate, considering the situation you’re in.
