Description

A big company project is underway to take the infrastructure international and a firm deadline has been imposed from above.. several engineering teams have been working hard on this for months but there really needs to be a big push to hold the date. Engineering managers agree with product folks that engineers should work late / weekends to get it done but a number of ICs are close to getting burned out and think this will not go well and mention their concerns to leadership.
