The global team I was in halved while I was at the bank, partly from cuts and partly from people deciding to take their various opportunities to leave and then not being replaced. By the time I departed with severe burnout, I had been consistently putting in 15-hour days for 19 months, and that as a fairly senior member of management (regarded by the business as an exec) just to keep our processes running. In Switzerland, that's not normal. But from the outside, yes, we just kept chugging along, so obviously we were finally the right size.
