Should I purposely fail in the projects?

Most of the people don’t like to fail in the projects, they try their best to complete the project in time. Get the project done with no error and complete the documentation on time and get the support job done on time. And most of people like to provide good service to company.

I am one of them, basically my job role is more than just System Analysis and I involved in all area of IT properties in my company like hardware repair, server maintenances, end users support, and programming stuff as well, one word “ALL”.

I have another 2 staff that helping me and always gone home on time, I am not complaining about this as I always stay back to clean the entire job they left out. I always give full commitment to my job as I think providing good service will be the good for my reputation and also can let people who work in this company confident with IT Dept.

Last few weeks, I am struggling with new product system enhancement, and I really need to tight up my time and fully focus on my work to finish on time, immediately I though of request for more headcount. I got reject from my manager and told me that I got enough people for all the tasks. I was like stunned when he told me that. I really work hard to finish tasks on time and now, you are telling me that my people are enough for the company.

Ok, if you had been following my blog from the beginning you should know that my boss got no knowledge about IT and always complain to me that IT is stupid.
Now, this question really gets into my mind as should I just fail the projects and get some headcount for my department? Maybe this is a only way to get extra people to help me on the task.
