Great colleagues, but unsustainable staffing issues

Business outlook

Pros

nice people to work with, and of course, doughnuts

Cons

extremely understaffed and leadership refuses to backfill while increasing expectations of shrinking teams. long-term, this is not sustainable and people will continue to leave. internal data is a mess, no confidence in outputs and requires a ton of manual calculation
