Victoria: What time do you finish today?
Chris: I don't, hahahaha
Victoria: Wait, what? :D
Chris: My PM went mad and he swamped us with work. I'll probably be here until the end of time.
Victoria: Oh geez... Have new projects, clients?
Chris: Well, yeah. We have five new clients, old projects going and new coming. It's good, but at the same time I wouldn't mind some help.
Victoria: I guess. But are they planning to recruit new people?
Chris: hahaha, no, what for ;)
Victoria: Of course :D It seems like our companies have a lot in common.
Chris: Again, I'm happy that the business's booming, we have work, money, etc. I wouldn't mind also having life to spend all this fortune.
Victoria: Tell me about it. Same thing happened here last year. They don't want to hire new people, because what if projects end?
Chris: I get that, but I know plenty of people happy to help temporarily. I've talked with my manager already, no luck though.
Victoria: I tried that as well. I honestly don't get this kind of policy. How many projects do you have now?
Chris: Supervising two, cooperating on five and three that I'm working on on my own. So ten in total.
Victoria: Shit, that's quite a lot.
Chris: You think? The PM begs to differ... 
Victoria: But how are you supposed to fulfil your duties the best you can with such a workload? It's ridiculous :/
Chris: I know, right? But who cares. I bet they're assigning new ones as we speak.
Victoria: I'm so sorry :( It'll pass, you'll see. It's always tough at this time of the year.
Chris: Yeah, I know, but I like this job and it bothers me that I'm not able to do my best. It's the first time that I'm really close to not giving a single fuck about this.
Victoria: It doesn't sound good. I would try talking with your manager once more. You know how it is, they're people as well, they need to be told they're doing something incredibly stupid sometimes.
Chris: Maybe your boss, mine is absolutely infallible :D
Chris is overwhelmed with work as he is involved in ten projects at the same time. The management at his company refuses to hire any new employees despite the growing workload. The situation is similar in the case of Victoria.
