Beware of major implementations... Personally haven't found myself in this situation but Deloitte is known for body shopping people for 2+ years on boring implementations (especially S&O healthcare work).

Advice to Senior Management – Appreciate staffs typical very high effort and dedication... It is disappointing to continuously hear good performance is impossible to attain... This is not sustainable motivation even for the most motivated of individuals
