Anyone in an IB team that is falling apart? How are you coping

Lost 10 people in the past year out of an 18 people team. Trying desperately to recruit myself in the last 2-3 months but have no offer yet. Not coping well mentally given the long hours, lockdown and the strain from recruitment process. Losing hope slowly seeing my colleagues leaving me behind and worry about my well-being and workload in the coming weeks. Seriously have no idea how I can cope anymore but I’m losing it mentally

 

From what I see, hours are normally not the only thing. Culture is incredibly bad in IB. Bad hours don’t necessarily come with bad culture. A team with bad hours can still be a decent and supportive team. From what I see, bad culture tends to drive people away more than bad hours. The two together will result in OP’s team’s situation.

Manipulation is on my mind
Inspect me, try to check me
Expectations well defined
Dissect me, want to wreck me
Violator of my own will
Accept me- reject me
Separate or shoot to kill
