we have been in “crunch time” literally all year long with this project and my boss has been so short with me since I basically demanded to go on vacation during the summer (a vacation that they were trying to deny) and then called us in a meeting this week to let us know that they won't be able to approve vacation for the rest of the year in order to complete this project.
This project has never been given an end date bc it keeps getting pushed back due to outside forces that have absolutely nothing to do with our team. It has been so incredibly frustrating and our team is small enough and yet our boss tries to blame us for not being able to do all of our tasks when we are obviously understaffed. it is becoming apparent that we are all burning out day by day after working constantly with the stress of needing to hurry when the project just keeps getting delayed and more delayed.
I cant even start to look for a new job until this project is done so I can add it to my portfolio and resume (this is my first big job out of college so without it i have no experience in my field) i have no idea what to do
