They should be doing their job which is partly to reassure employees that they, the managers, are acting with the best interest of the team to balance incoming work with current resources while at the same time trying to find creative opportunities for additional outlets to reassign work or bring on more resources, depending upon the situation. They should be talking with their teams to solicit ideas because the people actually doing the work probably have some thoughts on how to realign work and/or resources better than management.
