workload getting out of hand, and i don’t give a damn.

Started a new job in 2017. Took nearly a year to learn the trade and not be dependent of older colleagues. Suddenly mass lay-offs as entire company reorganizes and people shuffle around. Get one big client which requires full time 4 people on-site, train 2 new guys, get 2 years of good results with time to spare. Actually nice to be at, own office free coffee, … Fast forward to now, employer has been sold out to a holding of some sort, clients factory has grown immensely, 1 co-workers has been on-off sick/operations for 1,5 years. One colleague got other extra work to do, meantime i had 3 kids and work 4/5 days. oldest colleague is near retirement and only works 3/5 days. Employer does nothing … been back and forth as far as the CEO and in constant debate with the unions but “there's no budget” they also promised…

Fast forward to now, employer has been sold out to a holding of some sort, clients factory has grown immensely, 1 co-workers has been on-off sick/operations for 1,5 years. One colleague got other extra work to do, meantime i had 3 kids and work 4/5 days. oldest colleague is near retirement and only works 3/5 days.
Employer does nothing … been back and forth as far as the CEO and in constant debate with the unions but “there's no budget” they also promised a raise years ago which non have gotten.

Meanwhile i'm justgoing along at the same pace i got into this job and everything is going to shit.
Should i just sit it out and let it all happen ? The client could held the company responsible if the work is not done.
