The recent right sizing was painful. The teams that remain are sharper and more focused, but I watched good people leave, and that weight stays with you as a manager. Work life balance is treated like a topic we don't talk about, and I see the cost of that in my own team. People do their best thinking when they're rested, and right now the unspoken expectation is to always be on. Benefits sit at average or slightly below where they should be for a company asking this much of its people, and that gap is something my team notices.
