Exactly. But what are your choices? We're assuming that whoever is in charge has demanded a louder mix. First things first is that you have to turn up every sound. At that point you can either keep your reference level the same (but assuming the mix was good in the first place it's now too loud, fatiguing, and potentially ear-damaging) or you can lower the reference level and keep everything at a reasonable volume.
I know what I'd rather do when mixing a game based on firing a gun for 8 (10, 12, 14) hours a day for months at a time...
