I’ve been there. The manager told me that the system wasn’t in maintenance mode, that we were adding new features and finding new customers. Turned out they were just lying to themselves, that there wasn’t enough staff to add anything new to the project, and we should probably focus on migrating the customers to other products.

I remember the moment when I realized that the other people on the team were adding bugs faster than I could fix them. That it would be never-ending.
