Does your employer acknowledge the problem and stress you describe?
If so, is there an opportunity to talk about it?

If it carries on the way it is, I can see us losing even more staff.

Someone else I know recently made the comparison to the fall of the Eastern Bloc, which I have only very very vague memories of.
We are clearly killing our own country right now, and it’s driving me mad.
