A good PM is rare because as soon as you get one, they'll get poached within a few months.

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.

Ohhh that's me right now. I work in a consultancy and I only got assigned to projects that are on fire. It's almost 24 months without a gap between projects. Help me ಥ⁠_⁠ಥ

"For those of us who are about to die, we salute you!"

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.

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.
