Situation type: Chronic reorg + capacity stress

Pain Summary

The author describes sustained anxiety and sleep disruption driven by workload pressure, repeated reorganizations, and leadership-level instability that pushes unresolved problems onto delivery teams.

Why This Is High-Signal

First-person, long-horizon operating pain (not a one-off incident).
Explicit link between org structure and individual burnout risk.
Decision tension is concrete: stay for conditions or exit for health.

This reads like system instability, not personal weakness. Repeated reorgs plus shifting accountability usually push unresolved leadership problems down into PM workload. Without stable ownership boundaries, stress becomes a permanent operating cost.

You captured a real pattern: reorg frequency can mask unresolved ownership issues and force PMs into constant recovery mode. If useful, I can share a lightweight reorg-risk checklist teams use to prevent workload spillover.

Personalization Notes

Mirror their “8 reorgs in 5 years” detail.
Keep tone empathetic and practical.
Frame as systems issue first, personal decision second.
