100 hours sounds hectic. The last time I worked long hours for 2 continuous weeks and weekends I nearly quit my job the following Monday. Some sleep and a day off work changed my mind.<p>It sucks when you&#x27;re in rescue mode on a project. I am on a project that is going a bit like that. A part of me wishes it ends sooner than later, because even though I took a month off work, by the end of next my first week, it&#x27;ll feel like I never went away.<p>What would you recommend at the start of a project to avoid the death march? I&#x27;m struggling to find the right mix in people to help us balance our teams well. Lots of keyman dependencies which we can&#x27;t handle at times. Thanks
