I have this terrible anxiety about working at a company like this where I need the job and money but it’s obvious that a bunch of optimistic, but under-equipped business types are asking for the impossible and now I’m just in way over my head, desperately trying to make this thing work that doesn’t stand a chance.
It would be like if the Apollo program was just 10 grads.
I hate to break it to you, but that's exactly what a lot of companies are like. Sales people can routinely promise impossible things to their customers and then expect YOU to make it happen fast, without much regard of whether you can, whether you should, or how you felt about it.
