If you have asked yourself the hard questions and you're good at your job, you're putting in the effort, you’re being respectful, but you are still deflated from your managers pressure to be better, do more, do it now, work late at night, work weekends…. then it may be time to have the hard conversation with them. If they do not change their style, it may be time to start job hunting for a company that will respect you, get the best out of you and has a people-first culture that aligns with your values. You deserve it!
