Yes... Work Us to Death

Went down to dialysis centre at Thomson Road to check their emergency kit. One of the staff there told me they're working up to their neck as recently one of the staff resigned and there was no intention to hire another to replace her. According to management, the current manpower can still handle the patient load. Well, what can I say. It is the same with the my department. The big boss and the higher-ups kept piling projects on us without considering the fact that time is required to carry out these projects and we have to do that in our spare time as most of us are too busy during office hours serving patients at the front line.

We can only do so much each day. Does it not make sense to bosses that when people keep working without a proper break they arrive at work feeling tired, they lose interest in the job and start making errors?
